Nicknames

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

I've recently been drawn to the name Emerson (for a boy) but I can't find any known nicknames for it. Just wondering if you guys may know of any?

I find out the sex of my baby in 3 weeks, so this question could be moot if it's a girl but I figured I'd ask anyway for my own curiosity, if nothing else. Thanks!

i think it would make a great name for a boy or for a girl.
Em - possible nickname

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I've only ever seen people considering Emerson for a girl but I like it much better for a boy!

[crazyravyn.livejournal.com]

Either way a great name =)

Sonny?

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the only one I personally could think of too and I'm not overly fond of it :S

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

I like it just fine without a nickname too, I guess I'm more thinking of a variation he could go by if he didn't want to be called Emerson. All my other boy names are able to be shortened except this one!

My stepson's name is Emerson Maxwell and he goes by Max.

Emer?

I can't see it as a first name, so I can't see shortening it.

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess I don't really need to shorten it. All my other boy names are able to be shortened, so I was trying to do the same for this one to no avail.

Son/Sonny

Emery or Remy

Remy is a cute nickname for it :).

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

Ooh cute! I hadn't thought of those because they are both separate names on their own but they are definitely workable :)

I thought of Mercer, I have no idea why... Otherwise I thought Sonny, but I don't really like it.

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

I thought of Mercer too, actually! I don't really know if it works though. I'm not fond of Sonny either :S

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I think it works, kinda. I really like it, too.

I have a friend name Emerson. His girlfriend calls him Emy!

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

I love the name Emy/Emie for a girl but I hadn't thought it suitable for a boy. Something to ponder!

[queen-nala.livejournal.com]

He's very masculine so he rocks it!

I love the suggestions of Sonny.
I also love that this names is being considered for a boy =)

[girlheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't really like Emerson for a girl - after all, it does mean SON of Emery :P

[sailorneptune.livejournal.com]

I agree on the Emmy; that's the first thing that popped into my head.

That's actually what we've always called my younger cousin, Émilie.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Ess could be nicknames for Emerson :) or even Es (Ez)

[marcsgen.livejournal.com]

I'd like to throw in a vote for "Merry." Because I love me some hobbits, and I think it'd be super cute.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't like it because I think it's terribly trendy, and mostly a girls name, but Emery comes to mind. Remy is too feminine, I wouldn't stick it on a boy either.

Mersy? Kind of like the girl name Mercy.
