Emery for a girl?

DD1 is Madilyn and we call her Madi.  I really like Emery for a girl and call her Emme.  So far I've only seen boys named Emery though???

I like it.  But with a classic, girly middle name like Jane or Elizabeth!

Emery is a board, so I'd go Emerson.

I've only seen it as a boy's name but I like it! I also like Emerson. Agree that if you go with Emery fora  girl you should give it a classic MN.

Emery Jane

Emery Grace

Emery Elise

I have only seen it used on girls and love it. I think it is one to make my top ten.

Following this logic Emerson is an appliance company and a college.

OP: I'm not fond of Emery for either boys or girls but I think I like it less for a girl. I think of a young child saying Emery...most of the time people would probably mistake it for Emily.

Have you considered Emily, Emma, or something similar?

I don't like Emery at all, but I think the Emerson suggestion is way worse.

 So far I've only seen boys named Emery though???

 

Let's think about this rationally.  

1) You've only seen boys named Emery.  Because it's a boy's name. You've probably also only seen boys named Dave, Kevin, and Sebastian- are you adding them to your name list too?

2) I really don't get naming a girl a boy's name. It might work out for her if she's gorgeous and popular. But on the off chance she's normal or *gasp* god forbid, overweight, nerdy, or acne-ridden, it's going to be miserable for her. And as much as we all like to imagine our daughters being the head cheerleader, even famous supermodels complain of ugly-duckling high school stages.  It seems really cruel to give your child a masculine name on top of that.

3) your other daughter has a lovely, classic, feminine name. Is Emery going to think you wanted a boy and were stuck with her? Or is she always going to be jealous of her beautiful sister who got the "good" name?

I have a friend named Embry and we call her Em.  Maybe this could be an option?

I named my daughter Emery Mae. Besides lately seeing people put it on as a name choice on here. I have yet to meet another Emery.

I have a friend who named their daughter Emery Love and they call her Emme for short. I think it is adorable!
