Emerson - Boy or Girl name?

[KristyG]

Okay DH and I really love the name Emerson.

Originally we wanted to use it for a boy but we also think it would make a nice girl name.

The Shortened versions could be Em, Emmy, Emz etc.

What does everyone else think?? boy or girl name??

[sconeonamission]

I reckon both!

[Pandora]

I know 2 boy and 1 girl Emmerson

[KristyG]

Well You've both convinced me!! It can be either! lol All I wanted was at least one other person to agree that it could be a girl name!

I luv the name for both a boy or a girl!

I first thought 'girl' when I saw the thread title

Funny enough, I was just thinking this yesterday!

I personally think that Emmerson is a boy sounding name, but I have heard of it used for both.

Teri Hatcher's daughter's name is Emerson, I love it for either

[luna moth]

girl!

I once had a really vivid dream that I had a little baby girl called Emerson.

[Rowellen]

My first thought was that it could be either. The only one I have heard of is Teri Hatcher's DD.

[Cocolove]

There is a girl Emmerson in DD2's class, I like it for either xx

I love the name. I know it as a boys' name, like Emerson Fittipaldi, the famous race-car driver but in saying that I love it as a girls name too.

I think girl first off but could be for both. It's a great name!
