Emerson Rose or Cameran Reese?

DD#1 is Reagan Anne, which do you prefer with her name?

Honestly I don't care for either. Emerson is masculine and Cameron paired with Reese is very masculine. I vote something like Elin instead of Emerson or Camille/Camilla instead of Cameron,

I like Cameron better than Emerson. I personally like Camryn but that is just me. I voted for Cameron, though I do agree that Reese is too masculine.

Cameron Rose

Cameron Rae

Cameron Riley

Cameron Renee

Maybe something feminine and non fussy like Brynn or Sloane?

Neither one is really my style, but I prefer Cameron. I actually like a PP's suggestion of Cameron Rose over Cameron Reese. I'm just not a fan at all of calling little girls Emerson.

These are both boys names and don't work on a girl.

Cameron over Emerson, please. Emerson (even though it's been popular on girls lately) is not a female name.
Or what about Carmen? Sounds a little nicer than Cameron tbh

Feedback on this board is typically anti unisex names (and against any typically masculine name on a female), so you may get a lot of responses about that. I actually like quite a few names that can be used on both girls and boys. I don't see what the big deal is about using a typically masculine name on a girl as long as it is spelled correctly.

That said, I like Cameron. I grew up with a really awesome friend (a girl) named Cameron, so I have a great association with it. Since it is used on both males and females, I'd pair it with a more feminine middle name, since Reese is also used on both.

I also like Emerson, nn Emme/Emmy. My vote would be Cameron Rose.

Neither. I guess Cameron Rose if you can't come up with anything better.

mommabird77 · April 2015

Neither.

Neither.

Emerson Rose. I like Cameron a lot, too, actually. Just not with Reese.

MWoodside · April 2015

Oh! Also, I don't know if this bothers you, but the meaning of Cameron is crooked nose so that knocked it off my list.

nurse714 · April 2015

Neither. I like Rose as a first name.

beccabee92 · April 2015

I would actually suggest hunting for a new name with a different ending sound. Right now, you have a DD with -an, and your current options for the sibling both have -on, which is very similar. Perhaps search for a name with a -y, or an -ie, or an -a ending. That way you have some variety between siblings. For example, Camilla instead of Cameron would be lovely. Good luck!

I voted Emerson, but actually like the name Cameron or Camryn better. I just don't like Cameron Reese. It's a bit of a tongue twister, and I wouldn't do 2 unisex names. Cameron Rose or Hope or something is much better.

expressobean13 · April 2015

As pps have stated, I think Cameron Rose is the best of both worlds.

babyynumbertwo2015 · April 2015

I liked the name Emerson when we were naming my daughter, my husband (like a lot of these comments) thought it to be too masculine. We went with Emery instead. But from your two choices, I like Emerson rose! I think pairing a super feminine middle name with a unisex first name is pretty!

MixedBerries88 · April 2015

I feel strongly that names that end in "son" should be avoided for girls. So if you're sold on those names, go with Cameron. I would also use a feminine middle name to balance it out. Cameron Rose would be the best out of all of those options.

I noticed that you spelled the name both Cameron and Cameran in your OP. Go with Cameron if you're on the fence. That's the common spelling.

neither

queenbone · April 2015

Neither. I like PP's suggestion of Carmen. Carmen Rose is lovely.

KateLouise · April 2015

When I first glossed across Emerson Rose and Cameron Reese, my immediate thought was, "why would you use Rose for a boy?"

Because it just reads as very masculine. I'm not a fan of either, but agree with pp suggestions of Cameron Rose if you're really set on those choices.

theGDpaterfamilias · April 2015

Emerson would literally be naming your daughter "Emery's son." It's about as unisex as Richard.

For a girl, neither. Rose is nice.
