Emerson

[FreshScent]

What do you think of Emerson for a girl? I like that it is a formal name but it also has the sweeter nickname Emmy.

...Lake & Palmer?

oh bananafruitbat you beat me to it! emmy i quite like! emerson im not so sure about tho but im old!

[wrinklytum]

It is a surname ,surely?

[boodleboot]

i know an emerson but he is a boy. teri hatcher has an emerson rose and that is the first time i heard it for a girl. i do like it tho, Emmy is a lovely NN.

[LadyPinkofPinkerton]

I think its lovely.

I'm reading the Amelia Peabody series and it's her husband's name. Oddly for a naming-traditionalist I do like it, but for a boy.

Terrible terrible TERRIBLE.

Any name ending in "son" means son of so isn't appropriate for a girl anyway.

It's a "Falcon's Crest" name. Americanised and tacky.

Reminds me of an american actress who has 3 DAUGHTERS called Avery, Emery and Finlay. The poor wee buggers.

[PuppyMonkey]

Falcon's Crest name... .. very good.

Bad for a boy. Flipping awful for a girl, sorry.
