I don't know if it exists where you live, but Emery paper is a type of sandpaper, famous as the emery board (used for filing fingernails). I can't help but think of that when I hear the name Emery; it's really the only place I've ever heard the name at all.

Still, I guess I like the sound of it. It's neat. Has all the stuff I like.

It seems unisex to me; with the surname & Emeric association I first think that it's male, but the extreme similarity of sound to Emily makes it suitable for a girl, maybe more so. I guess if Emily is common it could be a bit odd.. with people mistaking it for Emily. Anyway. I give it my rubberstamp of approval. Unisex. :-)

Emery Juliet : great combo
Emery Justina: better combo because Justina is less generic and somehow has more 'depth', for lack of a better word - Emery needs that
Emery Madoline: sounds great, not as good as Justina

Emery Lonan: okay.. doesn't thrill me
Emery Stephan: I like this alright but I think it wants at least one richer / deeper vowel (I forget what you call the vowels made in the back of your mouth as opposed to the front) to give it some weight
