  Sorry, I don't like either.  To me, their both last names.  Then boy names.  Now girl names and very trendy at that. 

  Just totally not my style.

  I agree as well, I just didn't want to be the first to say it, I feel like I am being mean lately! I am assuming you might shorten Emerson to Emmy and there are so many little Emmy's around and Harper is just getting so trendy and popular. Really though they are just NMS, I prefer distinctly feminine names, there is nothing really wrong or bad about them.

  Oh and your due date is my DD's birthday so gl and H&H 9months!

  Emerson will always be a boy name to me... but I think Harper is adorable and sweet.

  I prefer more feminine names.  Of the two, I like Harper better.

  Both are completely NMS - I don't care for trendy, unisex names.

  I actually like Emerson.  My friend named her daughter Emerson Rose 6 years ago and I thought it was nice.

  I don't care for either. I like girl names to be girly yet classic and those are just meh and unisex to me.

  I love Emily though

  Emerson is a college in Boston, then a boys name.

  Harper is adorable, I like it a lot.

  We don't know what we are having yet, but we have decided upon two girl names and two boy names.  The two girl names we have chosen are Harper Ann-Marie and Emersyn Jade.  I guess I'm not too much help for your question. : )

  Emerson is not at all feminine to me (I am not a fan of -son names for girls).  I probably wouldn't like Harper either, since I am not into unisex surname-type names, but I'm rather fond of it because of the association with Harper Lee.

  Agreed.  I was looking up name meanings with kids in my class and all the little girls with -son names were disappointed that their names meant son of ...

  I think Harper will skyrocket in popularity after Harper Beckham.  Neither name is my style, but I know a little girl named Emersyn- cute name!

  I like both. My daughters name is Emerson and couldn't picture her named anything else. Two friends of mine have harper's one is a girl one is a boy. I'm not big on girly girly names - I tend to like the stronger names for girls.

  I don't care for Emerson as a girl's name.  It's a little too harsh-sounding for a girl, to my ear, anyway.  I pretty much feel the same way about Harper.  I have no idea why it's become so popular.  It sounds sharp and percussive to me, and those are not traits I want associated with a girl's name. 

   I also worry about how long it's going to take someone to nickname a little Harper "Harpy"...just RUDE.

  Thanks for all your opinions.  I was prepared for a lot of negatives ones : )  DH and I both don't like really girly names, so I guess that's why we like Emerson.  I still really like it.  I do agree that Harper is beginning to become too popular.
