Finally decided on a name and spelling. We are naming our little girl due in April, Emerson Grace. We will probably end up calling her Emme when she is little.
I like Emerson for a girl though I do have a thing about a girl's name containing the word "son". DD is Payson but we chose to spell it Paysen.
I usually agree with THIS but "Emersen" looked weird to me and I can't stand "emersyn" "emersin" or " emercyn". So we decided to keep the original spelling to save our daughter from always correcting people (which I have to do ALL the time)
Congrats on deciding! But since you are asking what we think...I'm not a fan of Emerson. It's become so popular for girls and I don't know why. Emme or Emmie is a cute nn, though.
Re: decided... what do you think?
I think it is a fine name. I love the nn.
However it probably won't get much love on the board since you are using a boy's name.
Agreed, but at least with such a masculine name she can always fall back on her mn. Congrats on deciding.
I only know of one Emerson, and it's a girl. They do call her "Emmy" or "Em" most of the time.
When I first heard the name, I didn't like it, but I've warmed up to it a little I like it more now than I use to.

Well...I don't like the actual sound of Emerson, to be frank. It's just not pleasant-sounding to me. Grace is pretty. I love the nn Emme.
Congrats on picking.

Paysen looks super cute spelled that way though
Sorry, what does nn stand for?

If you've decided, I wouldn't ask for opinions.
But since you did, Emerson is NMS and I'm so over "Em_ Grace" names. It just seems overdone to me.
Same. I know a girl named Emerson, so maybe that influences me, but I think it's a pretty , feminine name
Emerson for a girl is NMS, but I do love Grace and the nn Emme.
Congrats on deciding!
It's nice to decide but then it's probably not good to ask opinions. Alot of people get upset when doing this.
I like Grace but I don't like Emerson. It's all boy to me since it ends in "son".
I like it for a boy and suggested it to my DH but he reminded me it was an appliance company. So I decided against it.
No worries...sometimes TB flips out too. I've had a couple of double posts recently.
This is me as well.
This.
Good!
I don't personally like the name, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Me too!
