Do you think the name Emerson is more masculine or feminine?

I think it's 50-50

Masculine

I completely see it as masculine.

[ochenpryatna.livejournal.com]

I vote for masculine. For me, that applies to the majority of surnames, really.

Masculine

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

Masculine 100%

-son names = masculine.

[sdjma.livejournal.com]

definitely! "son" almost always makes me think of a boy (a few exceptions, like Madison)

[osbick-bird.livejournal.com]

Ralph Waldo! Masculine.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

masculine. except for madison/addison, i see all -son names as masculine.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

See, those make no sense to me either. They still mean "Son of." The only -son name I can think of that doesn't mean that is Allison, which is a diminuative of Alice.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

i'm with you, overall even madison/addison are masculine sounding, but i've seen them on too many girls that i've been swayed. and yes, allison is definitely the only truly feminine -son name.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

That's true. If I were to see the name Madison or Addison written, I would assume it was a girl because they're so popular on girls. But secretly I would hope it was a boy. I do the same thing with Mackenzie. I love Mackenzie on a boy, but no sense does it make on a girl. :)

I'd say it's more masculine, but I love boyish names for girls so I could see it go either way.

Masculine.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Masculine.

[laura-anne.livejournal.com]

Totally masculine.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

masculine, but i can see how it'd be nice on a girl. especially with maybe the nickname emmy to fall back on...

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Masculine. "SON of Emery." 'Nuff said.

[janenx01.livejournal.com]

Masculine, definitely.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

It should be masculine but I've seen it on more girls. However, if I had to use it on one gender it would certainly be male. The -son ending does not work for girls for me, even Madison and Addison.

Masculine

[rainylondonight.livejournal.com]

I see it as a really feminine masculine name if you catch my drift ;) I don't like it on a man though.

[quitmyscene.livejournal.com]

Masculine.. though it's really hard for me to get past it as strictly last name.

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Masculine, but it's not a first name.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Since 'son' mean's 'son of', and just because, masculine.

[stace25.livejournal.com]

I like it on a girl, esp. because I love the nickname Emmy.

[harri-cady.livejournal.com]

Masculine.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Masculine.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Masculine. And I like it!

[frankmancini.livejournal.com]

i can see it as both, but i like it for a girl.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i get that with the -son ending people want to go masculine, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE it on a girl. i think its a complete kickass girl name. and love the nickname emmy.
