    I think Pierce is supposed to be the proper spelling, although it might actually even be Piers??  I'm not sure but I know that Pierce is the one most often seen.  Pearce just looks like pears to me lol, although I'm sure it does get used.

    I don't know what's more common, but I prefer Pierce... it just looks more "right" to me.

    I think I've only ever seen Pierce.  Pearce looks more like a last name to me.

    ditto

    Pierce is a variant of Piers, but both are acceptable spellings. I think Piers is more common in the UK than it is here.

    OP, Pierce is definitely the better spelling. I really love this name.

    Pierce.

    Pearce = Guy Pearce to me; I've never seen it spelled like this as a first name.

    I love this name.

    My DS is Pierce. It is ranked in the 400s of the SSA list. Pearce is not in the top 1000 so I would say Pierce is definitely more mainstream/common. Piers is not ranked either but definitely legit and common in the UK.
