Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

I don't like -son names for girls, at all. I can at least tolerate Alison & Company since it resembles Alice, but I still vastly prefer Alice. (And no, it doesn't suddenly improve when it's spelled "Alisyn".) And I really don't like Madison, either. But both Alison and Madison have been thoroughly adopted as feminine names, at least in the United States, so I just grin and bear it because I'm apparently in the minority.

But Emerson... is masculine. The "Em" beginning might be giving people feminine vibes (Emma, Emily, etc.), but it's not like Emmett stopped existing! Emerson is very masculine in my eyes (and ears), and I'd almost consider using it if it weren't being co-opted for little girls of the new generation.

Yeah, so... that's my stickler, elitist point of view.
