So we're having boy # 3, we were set on Emerson but it seems that the trend is that it's becoming a female name. We even considered Emory, but again Emery is becoming popular on the female side. Can someone help me out with some non unisex names? Rules being that it has to be somewhat easy to pronounce and spell and cannot be higher than 200ish on the SSA names list.
DS 1 is Garrett (my choice) DS 2 is Dean (H's choice, I was never thrilled)
Honestly, I would steer clear of any baby name that has "Em" in it for boys. I even know of a baby Emmett that is a girl. I'm not sure I have a good sense of your style though so I will forego suggesting names until I do.
I truly believe you should use a name if you love it, no matter what. I will always see -son names as masculine no matter how many females are given a name with that ending. However, since popularity and names that are shared between sexes bother you, I'd drop both Emerson and Emory (I included available numbers below for popularity with variant spellings combined)
Numbers come from namenerds. The author combines spellings to make a list that depicts how popular a name is (or at least feels) compared to the SSA list. Links below if you want to see them for yourself: Boys: link Girls: (if you want to double check) link
I figured those links would be more helpful since I'm not really sure your style Here are some other options that came to mind: Abram Anders Arthur Hugo Leon Reuben Saul
Thank you! I'm so neurotic about popularity of names that I was adding up all the spellings myself. Anderson is on our list with nn Anders, I think it's really cute.
Emerson is a boy name. Period, end of story. I hate that it's being used for girls. That being said, I'm not a fan of Emerson at all.
