Emery or Emory

seawatch06 · September 2009

This is our boy name for sure. As I know more people are starting to use it for a girl, which spelling do you like best for a boy? My husband prefers Emery, but I just want it to be as masculine as possible!

Given that my most immediate associations are that an emery board is a nail file, while Emory is a university in Georgia named after someone named Bishop John Emory, I'd pick Emory. I guess they are both historically an English surname...

I agree that Emory (with an O) is more masculine.

Emory looks slightly more masculine. I don't know why, but it does.

with an "o"

The only Emory I knew was a male, spelt with an O

Emory seems more masculine to me for some reason.

Emory = emory board = nail file.

I like Emery best but I also had an Emre in my kindergarten class and it was pronounced Emm-Ray. That's kinda cute, too.

My uncle is Emory. I think Emory is more masculine and Emery more feminine.

I was going to suggest the "e" spelling when I clicked on the post, but now that I see it's for a boy, I definately would go with the "o" spelling. More masculine.
