Eric: two syllables, AIR-ick
Erica: three syllables, AIR-ick-ah
Emphasis on the first syllable in each
Eric: EHH-rick
Erica: EHH-ric-kuhEHR-ick
EHR-ick-uh
Only difference for me is that with Erica, I tend to compress the final two syllables enough that Eric & Erica don’t have a noticeable difference in how long it takes me to pronounce them.
I’m having trouble imagining how you would pronounce these differently? Eric Eric-a
I tend to elide the “I” in Eric but not Erica, which is what got me thinking.

Really screw with people and say
Airck-A
Tell them you’re from Canada
With an accent it sounds more like airk and airkuh
That’s interesting. I say ayrn for iron, but air-i-ka for Erica. Don’t know what my rule is for that.
Aaron earned the iron urn
“Err err uh err err”

“What the f*ck, man, we really talk like that?”
I love that video so much
