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.

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.

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

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