Emerson?

[Natnat29]

Hi all do you think this a more of a boys name or girls?

I think it's pretty much unisex

I went to school with a boy called Emerson, he was quite the charmer I had completely forgotten him until now.

Boys name. Not keen.

Definitely boy imho.

Well, last year there were 34 boys named Emerson and no girls.

In 2010 there were three baby girls called Emerson and 22 boys.

So though it is a unisex name, and the only person I've ever known of called Emerson is a girl, on balance it is more of a boys name.

I really like for a girl but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to use it (though Emmy and Emma/Emer are nice 'feminine' shortenings).

Sorry, like it.

Thanks Alex wow hadn't realised it was so unusual appartently there was a racing driver hence why other half suggested it- at the time partly thinking I would hate it but I actually like it :) was worried it was a but girly we need a boy name choice already hot girl one sorted. Sorry one more question do you think this name has chav potential at all?

I don't like it for a girl,but love it for a boy.

The Emmer bit sounds like Emma, so female.

The "son" bit sounds male.

It sounds masculine to me... Because of Emerson Fitapaldi (sp.) - off to google correct spelling.

Lake and Palmer.

Sorry, I'm giving my age away here

This is for anyone younger than me.

Fittipaldi...

Boys name.

And it will be to any Peabody fan (even though it is a transferred surname there).

Yes, i immediately thought of Emerson, Lake and Palmer too.

Hobbles off on zimmer

Scaevola- what's Peabody?

Ha ha, dh suggested it also because of Fittipaldi. He won the championship the year dh was born.

Amelia Peabody - main protagonist in a series of murder mysteries set in archaeologists' Egypt in late Victorian/Edwardian times. Emerson is her husband.

Teri Hatcher named her daughter Emerson Rose so i automatically though 'girl' as i haven't heard it anywhere else

Why oh why do I know this, yet I can't remember actual useful stuff like my PIN numbers or where i parked my car....

It's unisex but I like it for a boy

I was going to say Teri Hatcher too - I'd think of it as a unisex name but very american sounding.

Boy

prog rock band, that went on a bit

I think of it as a masculine sounding girl's name and a feminine sounding boy's name. Personally I love it for a girl!! Dislike it for a boy.

Fittipaldi
