Do you pronounce the names "Eric" and "Erica" mostly the same? How many syllables each? (slrpnk.net)

EHR-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.
