by MamaHollywood27we love this name for a girl
by skyblue6604Love this name for our baby girl. Would spell it Emersyn. He meaning dad is undecided.
by Huneydew13We named our little girl Emersyn Lynn and call her Emme for a nickname which seems like its the consensus for everyone else also!
by mnmarquesLOVE this name for a girl. So much so that I named my daughter Emerson!
by MamaP37We named our little GIRL Emerson Grace "Emee". I love it. It will be hard for me to find a name I like as much for subsequent children.
by SoCalKatI love the name spelled Emersyn for a girl
by bethglanzerI love this name for a GIRL, but I would spell it Emmersyn.
by K10lialThe name means "SON of Emery." How is this a girl's name?
by staceymriveraI adore this name and it should definitely be listed as uni-sex. Among other names we have picked out Jane Emerson is among the tops for a little girl.
by MrsHays12I love this name for a little girl. Emerson Diana...I think we'll call her Emmy! :)
by danibumI love this name for girls...Emercyn though. This isis what weis are definitely naming our daughter.
by creescanoMy daughter is Emmerson Elisabeth (Emme). This name to me is way more feminine than masculine and should definitely be listed as uni-sex.
by VCarly23I love this name. I think it should be listed as unisex not just male. It is definitely getting popular for little girls!
by sesigsi love it.
by tina pierrei love it.
by tina pierreStarting to think of names even though it's so early. Having a hard time picking girls names. My hubby actually like Emmerson Rose. was kind of thinking of something a little more feminine, since this name is unisex. My 6 year old is named Madison Elisabeth. Suggestions???
by misschris216I llike it.
by RkindigWe are not finding out the sex of our baby so we are picking unique names that could go either way and emerson is our favorite! little signs keep popping up that the name should be it though I am still entertaining other names
by aleishajewellthat is so crazy that this name is on here, before i knew i was preganant i kept having dreams about having another little boy besides my son i already have and the name emerson appeared to me in that dream. Crazy part was it was quite a recurring dream. I love the name its very strong and unique
by CamsMommy0813such a masculine and strong name.
by tattedlauraGirl name. Not the best for a boy.
by devonnicolinalove it!
by beccacurtyIt definitely sounds like a nice boys name. Doesn't sound girlie at all.
by McKeonGirlI think it is a beautiful girls name that can will grow with the child. I can see a business woman or an artist.
by amber232If we have a girl her name will be Emerson Reese
by jburns1025Love this for a little girl, Emerson Rae
by jessiejo17Love it for a little girl!
by KJ1993I love it and will probably use it for our boy. It sounds very masculine to me, so it surprises me that people find it a good unisex choice....
by bestcaroMy little girl is going to be Emerson Kate and we are going to call her Emmy
by meaganmonkNamed my son Emerson with 2 middle names 2nd middle name after my mom
by innovemberI'm glad to see others are naming girls this too- Its my top pick if we have a girl in October! Emmerson Katherine.
by JenMarie83We are naming our little girl Emmerson Elizabeth. A little different spelling, but we'll call her Emmie
by alawThis is most definitely going to be my girl name. Emerson Jane.. I love the options she will have should people use nicknames, Emmy or Emjay : ) I love love love it!!
by dragonfly909I love this for a girl or a boy because I love Ralph Waldo. I think if I named my child this and people just thought I was trendy I would be upset. Maybe I shouldn't.
by nickiislandThis is the name I have picked for a girl. Traditionally a boys name but to me feels more feminine. I have had this name picked out for at least 10 years...
by PokedotI love it! My little boys name is Emerson Edward Scott. I like that it is an old name but new again!
by Baby Bennett's MumI love this name!! I think it is a very cute uni-sex name.
by 2angelbabiesTo me this a girl's name. This is my granddaughters name, spelled Emmerson.
