Slightly more feminine, without the y. She would still have a heavily misspelled name- I do, but I'm used to it and it's really not a big deal. Our second son has an older spelling of an already old name. We know he'll have name corrections, no big deal based on my experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2150133 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 13:46:08 +0000 Mommy Finger 2150133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece is also named Emery!

I actually don't think it looks more feminine, but Emery is a very cute alternative if you don't like the "son" ending! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2149860 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 11:46:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 2149860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emerson -- 1) I have one ;) 2) I'm not a fan of unnecessary Ys, I don't think a Y should be able to replace any vowel even though it's the trend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2149851 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 11:36:36 +0000 Meowkers 2149851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow talk about an overwhelming majority. </p> <p>I'm not currently pregnant so this is just for fun but DH likes coming with with names for our future second daughter (our daughter is only 3 months so this is far into the future.) </p> <p>We both love the name Emerson but are a bit put off by the -son at the end. It just seems weird for a girl. At the same time neither of us likes unnecessary Ys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2149018 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 12:02:20 +0000 erinpye 2149018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with what's been said about -son endings for girls being a bit masculine, but I don't love the Y spelling either. I'd use -son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148947 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:05:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 2148947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally get wanting to maybe spell it more feminine with a Y vs traditional spelling....The Y younique spelling trend put me off for a while, but when we were racking our brains to name LO2, I found myself considering it with a name (Camdyn). But we ended up nixing it mainly bc we weren't comfortable going with a name we would spell "youniquely." </p> <p>My niece is "Addisyn" and we all misspell it all the time. My mom actually monogrammed an Easter basket for her and put the Y in the wrong place and I caught her muttering "Why couldn't they just spell it normal so we don't have to deal with this all the time?!?" </p> <p>We decided to go with a name with a nice, traditional spelling:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148946 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:04:56 +0000 FaithFertility 2148946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me I would say Emerson<br /> But would say Emer-sin with the y </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148928 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 08:31:20 +0000 WinterBee 2148928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: +1.

I don't care for -son endings for girls, but I really don't like the look of Emersyn. FWIW, the -syn spelling also changes the pronunciation for me, from a schwa sound in the last syllable to a short i. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148882 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 07:15:09 +0000 NovBaby1112 2148882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Emerson! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148874 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 06:50:22 +0000 travellingbee 2148874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: ah you're in Sweden! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148828 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 01:57:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2148828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the y. I usually don't like unique spellings, but I think it makes it feminine stand alone. Where we live (abroad) -son is a common surname (Emer's son) and back then an alternate spelling would have been Emersdotter, for example. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148825 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 01:28:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2148825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emersyn-v-emerson#post-2148819 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 00:25:16 +0000 Purpledaisy 2148819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emerson.

The traditional Emerson or the clearly feminine Emersyn? </p>
