HelpRe: What are your experiences with your name?
in reply to a message by rainbowpops
1. What is your name?
: Erica
2. Do you like your name?
: Yes, now. This wasn't true in the past.
3. How popular / rare was your name when you were born?
: My name was popular when I was born, but not enough that there was one in every class.
4. Have you ever been bullied for your name?
: I was already bullied for other reasons, so my name just became another convenient method. Usually it was my surname that was attacked through various derivatives, but because I wasn't "girly" my name was often "shortened" to just Eric.
5. Have you ever been able to buy lunch bags, posters, necklaces ect. with your name on without having to personalize them?
: Quite often, and usually both my spelling and the K spelling were available.
6. Has your name ever been in any books, movies, tv shows or video games?
: I was essentially named after a famous soap opera character (Erica Kane on All My Children). More recent examples include the off-screen character on BoJack Horseman (with such memorable references as the quotes "Erica! Is that you? Who let you out of the burn ward?" or "Erica! You can't be here! This place is filled with children!" or even "Erica! You know you're not allowed to vote in national elections!"), as well as Lucas' little sister on Stranger Things.
7. Do you know anyone else with your name or have you ever met anyone with the same name personally?
: Oh yeah, quite a few times. All my age or older, though. It's becoming dated.
8. Have you ever wished you had a different name?
: Many times in the past. Currently, no.
9. Do you use nicknames? What are your nicknames?
: My middle name is Rose, and my mom actually calls me Rosie more often than Erica. Other than that, no.
10. Do people misspell your name?
: Often. This is the only thing that still occasionally annoys me about my name. Even in replying to emails where I have my name clearly spelled, people will spell it Erika. (I've even seen Ericka before.)
