    I also posted a version of this on baby names...  but I really wanted to check here since I think you ladies are pretty rad and have your heads on your shoulders.

    I supervise someone named Emerson and he's a guy, so I suppose my view is skewed. lol

    Its a super cute name though! Old school and adorable.

    I'm a SS (special snowflake). I think it's neutral. :)

    basically... we would like to use it for a boy.  However, more than once, I have mentioned the name and ppl reply "oh, I love that for a girl.  You can call her Emma!"  I am just worried it's getting too trendy as a "unisex" name and ppl will think it's a girl name!

     

    Or I am over thinking things.

    I agree with Techie. 

    If you've read the Runway Series by Meg Cabot, the main character is a girl and her name is Emerson and goes by the nickname Em.

    wow I just looked it up and I guess it IS currently more popular as a girl's name.  very strange, it just seems like a manly name.  I like it.  DH and I are having a similar problem as his favorite name for out LO is Finley, but I don't like the idea of naming our boy something that is more common for a girl.

    Ugh- I hate this.  We are between Emerson and Elijah and I think DH is leaning towards Emerson.  I just can't shake how trendy it is for girls right now.  DH thinks I shouldn't care "what's trendy", but seriously, I just can't stop thinking about all the people who name their girls this!

    I know a little boy named Emerson, so I don't think I could ever see it as a girls name.  It does seem very masculine to me.

    SS. I think of Emerson College in Boston. :)

    But there is a woman on my local nest board who has a daughter named Emerson.

    When I saw "Emerson" my first thought was "Ralph Waldo".  It definitely has a more masculine feel to me.

    Boy.  "-son" means "son of", so "Addison" and "Madison" are also totally boy's names in my book, but no one listened to me about that, lol. Stick out tongue

    It screams boy to me.  I was not aware that it is a popular girls name now...  IMO you will be more than safe if you name your son Emerson.
