My 3 month old daughter is named Emery Ellen. I really had a hard time choosing her name because of how unusual and how it was traditionally a boys name. We really wanted a name with a “y” at the end, to go with her big brother, “Colby”. Avery is so popular and my friend had a baby 3 days after my baby was born and named her that. My other option was Chloe, but then my cousin named her baby Chloe 11 days before my baby was born. It left us with Aubrey and Emery and I was afraid people would call Aubrey, “Brie” for short, and then I would have Colby and Brie…. (cheese)
My mom isn’t too thrilled with her name of Emery, but I am hoping it will eventually gain popularity among little girls.

My son’s name is also Emery named after my husbands Uncle and Great Uncle. They are southerm. Emery is traditionally a boys name. I really prefer it as a boys name. I hope it doesn’t start being considered feminine.

My 14 year old daughter is named Emery. It’s a surname in our family. It is sophisticated and there are still cute nicknames like “Emmy” and “Em.” She likes her name!

Emory is my son’s name and I want it to stay a boy’s name!

Our 24 year old daughter’s name is Emory Caroline and she loves it. She is told constantly that her name is lovely and unusual…which she is as well.

I am due with a little girl in June. I am planning on naming her Emery Lillian after my great-grandfather (Emery aka “Em”) and my grandmother (Lillian Lois). We will probably call her Emmy for short!

My name is Emery and I am a female. I love the name, it is a great conversation starter and all of my friends and people that I meet love it and think it very pretty and interesting. I think it is very wonderful and amazing. Woo Hoo!! we need more people with interesting names.

We have a one year old girl Emery and it is so great to hear it be used more often as a girl. We get many compliments too. People say to us it use to be a name for a boy used many, many years ago, but I love calling her Emmy too.
Glad she named her Emery.

I have a 4 month old girl and we named her Emery. I think it sounds better as a girls name than a boys name. We get compliments on her name all the time because it isn’t heard much. But now who knows!!:)Kudos to Angie Harmon for naming her sweet little girl Emery Hope!!

jjj- It’s not “black and white” when it comes to names being unique (and I say this as someone who tends to be a very black and white thinker!).
