In Friends, what is the name of Monica and Chandler’s adopted daughter?

The story behind the answer

Monica and Chandler’s adopted daughter in Friends is named Erica.

Erica is the young woman who chooses Monica Geller and Chandler Bing to adopt her baby. The storyline forms a major part of the final season and leads to the couple becoming parents after their difficulties conceiving naturally.

The adoption plot culminates in the birth of twins. Monica and Chandler name the girl Erica after her birth mother, while the boy is named Jack after Monica’s father. The twins’ arrival closes the series with the couple moving to a suburban home.

Erica is easy to confuse with Emma, who is Ross and Rachel’s daughter, or Emily, Ross’s second wife. Those names belong to different Friends storylines and characters.
