Ace and Emersyn?

smccoin

Hi! Although we are ttc #2 hubby and I have our second baby's names almost picked out. We have picked Ace for a boy. The hard part is picking a middle name. And I also can't decide on a girl's name. The ideas I have are Emersyn Claire, Emersyn Monroe, Scarlett Grace, or Scarlett Monroe. Help please! Thanks:)

smccoin

I can spell it how I like. And i've seen Emersyn spelled like this for a girl. But thanks anyway.

Scarlett is a billion times better than a misspelled boy name. It's Emerson. If you use a boy name for a girl, own it and spell it correctly. 

Scarlett Claire is nice.

I am no help on Ace. Nope.

This. Emersyn is terrible. Ace is ok but sounds more like a nickname to me.

Then why Are you asking opinions?

Ace isn't my first choice for a boy's name but my husband has had his heart set on this name for a long time. Our first child was easy to name. Being a boy we named him after my husband, Brandon Jr. There aren't alot of boy names that I like so I'm leaving the boy name up to my husband.

Emersyn looks weird. Just spell it Emerson, and use a feminine name like Grace or Claire to be clear it is a girl's name. Emerson Monroe sounds like an old man's name to me. I prefer Scarlett Grace of your options but Scarlett Claire is nice too.

I do not personally care for Ace. Sounds like a nickname for a young kid on a sports team- Ace, Champ, Skippy, Buster, etc. But I would pair it with a 3+ syllable traditional middle name- Nicholas, Nathaniel, Timothy, Jeremiah, etc.

I don't like Ace, sorry.  Definitely one of those trying-too-hard names.  Maybe Chase?

I like Scarlett a lot and Scarlett Grace is fine.  I'm not really a fan of Monroe for a girl, either FN or MN, unless it has family significance, because it's all boy to me.  Emersyn is a misspelled boy's name.  Yes, names can be misspelled, and just because someone else gave it to their child doesn't mean it was a good idea.

smccoin

What do you mean why am I asking opinions?

ladameperdue

Oh please don't saddle a woman with Emersyn. At least spell it Emerson (although it is a boy's name and a last name at that). Other suggestions: Emmeline, Emily, Emma Rosalind (my best combination of names that sound similar to "Emersyn")

smccoin

There isn't one way to spell a name. There are different variations of spellings. I'm asking for which first and middle name sounds better together, not how to spell a name. Thanks for the replies though. Scarlett Grace is beautiful and it has been a fav name of mine for a while so I probably will stick with it. Just considering other names.

I've loved the name Noah too but it's so popular now I want a name that's not popular or at least not very popular.

NerdyLucy

I prefer Scarlett Grace or Scarlett Monroe. Eta: or Claire.  I missed that somehow. 

 My late great uncle's name was Emerson, so to me, Emersyn is like naming a baby girl Rychard. 

I think Ace is an adorable nickname, but I'm not a fan of it as a formal name.  If you do use it as a formal name, do you have some family names you'd want to use as a middle name?

Like Ace Joseph, Ace Henry, Ace Nicholas, Ace David, Ace Ryan, Ace Robert, Ace Edward?

smccoin

That's the thing. I feel like Ace is very hard to pick a middle name for. Maybe I can convince hubby to pick a different name.

Ace is a pretty common nickname for little boys, unrelated to their given name. You could pick a completely different name (I love Noah btw) and your DH could call him Ace for a cute father-son nickname.

If he is absolutely set on Ace, has it been considered as a middle name instead of a first name?

smccoin

Haven't considered it as a middle name bur thanks for the suggestion:) Now to find a first name to go with Ace. I still have time though and by then who knows what names will be on our minds. Maybe we can switch to Noah. It's perfect.

Emeryson's parents are being judged, I promise.

magsugar13

ill go with scarlet grace since it is spelled correctly

Notwifezilla7

I like Grace and Claire. 

I think Ace is a cute nickname, but I don't think I'd ever use it as a formal first name. 

WashingtonQueen

Drop Emersyn completely. The correctly spelled version belongs on a boy anyway.

smccoin

Could y'all please stop with the spelling of the name? I'm the parent, i'll spell it how I choose to. Emersyn is not as bad as y'all think. Geez.

talanswife

I like Ace as a nickname- have you guys considered Asa or Mason/Jason with the nickname Ace?  For your girls, I prefer Scarlett.  I like Monroe for a MN with Scarlett, especially if it is a family name.  I like Emerson ok (not a fan of the y, but if that is how you want to spell it, power to you), but I do feel like it is super trendy right now.  

smccoin

@talanswife thank you for not being rude! Very much appreciated:) Honestly though Scarlett is a name that I have loved for a long time and no matter what other names I think of I always go back to it. So her name will probably be Scarlett.

smccoin

Haven't considered any of those for a boy. Thanks for the suggestions

Fine. I'm going to give you my most honest response to seeing Emersyn on paper: Wow. Her parents gave her a male name and couldn't spell.
Poor kid.

Congrats!

No need to be so rude.

I did want opinions but I never asked for an opinion on the spelling of a name.

They are just giving you an idea of what others are thinking

Look, you asked for help choosing a name.  Most of us prefer Scarlett to Emersyn of the choices you listed.  Should we not tell you WHY we prefer Scarlett to Emersyn?

There are ways of saying what you have to say without being rude.

Opinions on any given name include feelings about how it's spelled (or in this case misspelled).

smccoin

Yes but some people were very rude in their responses and there are better ways of responding.

allardr

People are harsh. I love Scarlett Grace. I have a boys name - Ryan - so I'm open to names for either sex, but I do prefer traditional spellings. I like how my mom didn't put extra n's or what not on me like Ryanne. 

As for Ace if it's a first name I'd put it with a longer more traditional middle name. I dont mind it as a first name, not my style but not bad. I actually really like it though for a middle name and then DH can still call him by his middle name, something sweet & special between them. good luck picking out your perfect name!

This site is known for being blunt and honest. No one was rude. Just because it's not what you want to hear doesn't make it rude. These are the exact things people are going to think and say behind your back.

smccoin

@allardr thank you also for stating your opinion without being rude. I want to keep Ace as an option for either first or middle name because I know how much it means to my husband. As for the girl name i'm 99% on Scarlett but we'll see. Thank you:)

smccoin

I am open to different opinions and I can handle things I don't want to hear. But yes some people were being rude.

Ok whatever, if you are really that sensitive I promise you are not going to like this site.

Not sensitive and I can be just as rude as others on here but I choose to be nice. Maybe some others should do the same.

I prefer Scarlett Grace. Scarlett is my all-time favorite name. Here is a (hopefully "respectful," as per your request) explanation of why I think Emersyn is a poor choice: I like Emerson on a girl, but I think you're doing her a disservice by misspelling the name. Y is just a letter. It doesn't have a gender, and it certainly doesn't make a name "more feminine." Further, spelling plays an important part in etymology, which affects and gives meaning. Without the O, the name has no meaning. Emerson means "son of Emery," because it's a surname. It has the element of a surname in the suffix "son." But a /syn/ is meaningless. I don't think a change in spelling (no matter how minute) justifies giving someone a name that has no meaning. That's why I, personally, don't like Emersyn. I don't think it's fair to try to make this about how people will view your education level, etc. for misspelling a name. I simply believe every person deserves a meaningful name. I believe parents are obligated to bestow that on their children.

Thank you. I love Scarlett so much. Plus hubby doesn't like Emersyn(either way it's spelled) and we both love Scarlett. I understand your reasoning on why you don't like Emersyn and thank you for your non rude response.

Scarlett is my favorite name! We'll at last being using it for this LO if it's another girl.
