my baby girls name is Emerson, we struggled to choose a name for number 4 and after months of trying to find the 'perfect' name we came accross Emerson, which I had seen before as a friend had a little boy called Emerson but it just had never crossed my mind to use it for a girl, but when I read it out from a name site both myself and hubby just loved it, it just felt 'right' so we called her Emerson, and we just love it, its funny though as Medicare and the doctors office both assumed Emerson was a boy so had to fix that up asap, so I think traditionally it is a boys name but I just love it for both genders!!
