1. I love Ralph Waldo Emerson, and just before the name went *kaboom* for girls, I entertained the idea of Emerson as a middle name. I really can't stand the name on a girl; it doesn't sound feminine in the slightest--even if she could be called Emmy, the name connotes an older man to me. Ralph Waldo, for example, or Charles Emerson Winchester III. :) I would love to see it on a boy.2. Perhaps...James Emerson

WowAm I the only one nerdy enough to think that this is a super literary name? I like both names, and I even like the combo (though it's borderline "trendyish" to me), but it kind of seems like naming a kid Monet Picasso or Bach Mozart.

Emerson, for a boy, is adorable. :)-- Sarah

I agree!Emerson is one of those guys who quotes remarkably well, but the concepts behind his larger texts (ie essays, etc; not quotations) can be a little loopy. But I enjoy him anyway. I can't stand that this has been used as a girl name. Yuck! But I think it would make a nice boy's MN. One of my fave combos is Julian Hawthorne (for Nathaniel Hawthorne), so I can see Emerson in that capacity. I adore Poe, but Edgar, Allan, and Poe are unappealing as names. Oh, well. They can't all be winners. :)PS: Try The American Scholar. Some great quotations.
