Erica - Heather. Works well in many languages.
Not sure about Heather working so well in German. I think you would get a lot of "Hadder" pronunciations.

Personaly, I like names with mostly voiced consonants. In other words with B, L, M, N, V, Z.
Isabella, Linnea, Veronica, Anna, Linda, Lydia, etc. sound very nice and roll off the tongue, but might not be too German.
Isabella, Veronika, Anna and Linda are very German. I know a bunch with these names.
I like Steffi, but not Stefanie. I knew the sweetest little girl named Gertrud, who was called Gerti for short, but I don't think I could call any child of mine that.
Andrea works well. Simone is nice. Susanne too. I wish I could think of a German name that I like that doesn't end in an "a" sound, but I can't.
