[name_f]Erica[/name_f] [name_f]Rane[/name_f] (Last name rhymes with Knowling)
[name_f]Erica[/name_f] means [name_f]Eternal[/name_f] Ruler or Ruler of All
[name_f]Rane[/name_f] is Hindu for [name_f]Queen[/name_f] and Norwegian Pure [name_f]Queen[/name_f]. [name_m]Said[/name_m] like [name_u]Rain[/name_u]. (Guess my mom had high hopes for me lol!)
I just hate [name_f]Erica[/name_f] I think… [name_f]Love[/name_f] what my name means, but I think [name_f]Erica[/name_f] is so icky.
What do you think? My little sister is [name_f]Mina[/name_f], and I am sooooo jealous that her name is cooler than mine! (Well her first name is. I loathe her middle name)
I have thought of changing my name LOTS, just can’t think of what Id change it to… Family calls me [name_f]Rica[/name_f] (Reekah) which I like, but not as a full name…
What do you think of [name_f]Erica[/name_f] [name_f]Rane[/name_f]? Definitely change it, is it “okay”, or “get over it, thats what you were named.” Lol
I think people are afraid to comment on a name someone already has lol! Well, I know someone who changed their name to [name_f]Erica[/name_f] and she loves it. Her original name was [name_f]Tamara[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tammy[/name_f].
Personally, I don’t care for it. I would certainly never call it bad or think ugh… it just doesn’t do anything for me. It has a good flow with [name_f]Rane[/name_f]. If you were going to change it what would you change it to?
To me my name is such a big part of my identity that even though I don’t love it and there have been times I actually loathed it, I could never change it. There was a time I tried to introduce myself with different names to new people or used my middle name. But I’ve come to realize it’s what my parents carefully chose for me and that’s why it’s special and it’s me.
But if you feel like you don’t identify with your name at all, then I think it’s different case.
I think [name_f]Erica[/name_f] [name_f]Rane[/name_f] sounds great and [name_f]Erica[/name_f], though nms, is a good name.
If you want to change it, maybe something with a similar meaning, since you like the meaning of [name_f]Erica[/name_f]?
I like [name_f]Erica[/name_f], I like [name_f]Rane[/name_f] and I like them together. You name is lovely! I much prefer [name_f]Erica[/name_f] to [name_f]Rica[/name_f].
I went to a summer camp with a girl named [name_f]Erika[/name_f] when I was 10. She was smart and beautiful. We became friends while there, but unfortunately lost contact later. She also had a cute little brother whose name was [name_m]Teodor[/name_m]. Such creative choices for [name_f]Russia[/name_f]!
[name_f]Erica[/name_f] has never been a fave but I do not make faces or crinkle my forehead when I hear it. [name_f]Rane[/name_f] is a cool middle and it flows well with [name_f]Erica[/name_f].
I would choose a nickname for yourself, whether [name_f]Rica[/name_f] or something else.
here’s what you have to choose from:
[name_f]Rane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rica[/name_f]
[name_u]Rae[/name_u] ( [name_u]Ray[/name_u] )
[name_u]Kaye[/name_u] ( [name_u]Kay[/name_u] )
[name_u]Reece[/name_u] …very cute
[name_f]Erica[/name_f] + [name_f]Rane[/name_f] = [name_f]Erin[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], [name_f]Carri[/name_f], and I think you have even more to choose from.
[name_u]Reece[/name_u] and [name_u]Kaye[/name_u] are my personal faves. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
I like the combination of [name_f]Erica[/name_f] and [name_f]Rane[/name_f]. Sadly I went to school with so many [name_f]Erica[/name_f]'s so it’s not one of my favorite names, but it’s not horrible either. I like it.
I don’t know what I would change it to… Something very feminine probably! To me [name_f]Erica[/name_f], is just [name_m]Eric[/name_m] with an a. [name_m]Just[/name_m] makes me think “boya” lol. I didnt realize those were nickname options for [name_f]Erica[/name_f]… Hmm…
I like [name_f]Erica[/name_f]. I remember thinking in middle school that [name_f]Erica[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] were really sweet names–both a bit demure and kind. Then I had a friend whose name was [name_f]Erika[/name_f], and she was ANYTHING but demure and kind, lol, so I’m not sure how I view [name_f]Erica[/name_f]/[name_f]Erika[/name_f] now, but I still like it quite a bit. Not my favorite name ever, but it’s probably one of my favorites that reached its prominence in our generation.
I can feel your pain–I used to hate my name–but I’ve just come around to it, and I rather like being an [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]. I still feel rather cheated out of something I was so looking forward to do, but, for the most part, I am really happy with my name. Maybe you’ll come around, too?
