To me, a nickname is a nickname. I love the name Alistair - which screams masculinity to me - but the most obvious nickname is Ali (pron. Allie), which I would undoubtedly say.

If you were hoping for a stronger nickname, Sonny is always an option. Emers is a neat one, but to me, it would take practice to say that as a first response. Em would be the first short form out of my mouth.

I also see Mercy as a nickname for Emerson, but that leans feminine to me.
