I was about 15 (about 6 years ago) when I thought of
Emerson as a first name, and I have NEVER thought of using it for a boy. I presonally see a girl (at any age) with the name
Emerson. If she feels its too masculine for her, there are plenty of feminine nn (anything starting with
Em-).
Emerson Patricia is nice, but balanced (I like combos that has one short name with a longer name)
