We have a two year old daughter named [name]Emerson[/name]. We are expecting in a few weeks and haven’t agreed on a girl’s name (we didn’t find out the baby’s sex). The possibilities, so far, are [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Arden[/name], & [name]Quincy[/name].
The requirements are:
A name you can instantly pronounce when seeing it
[name]One[/name] that has at least one nickname possibility ([name]Emerson[/name] is also [name]Em[/name], [name]Emie[/name], Ems, etc)
A strong name (one that would work as well for a doctor or president as it would for a teacher or artist)
I like [name]Elsa[/name] a lot, but it is vastly different in style from [name]Emerson[/name]. I would either go with [name]Arden[/name] or [name]Quincy[/name]. More ideas:
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Afton[/name] nn [name]Affie[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Bellamy[/name] nn [name]Bell[/name], [name]Amy[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & Carington nn [name]Carrie[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & Darlington, nn [name]Darly[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Delaney[/name] nn [name]Laney[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Ellen[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Nell[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Jocelyn[/name] nn [name]Joss[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & Lexington nn [name]Lexie[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Madigan[/name] nn [name]Maddie[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Romilly[/name] nn [name]Romy[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] & [name]Sheridan[/name] nn [name]Sheri[/name]
Out of your names listed, I don’t feel like [name]Elsa[/name] matches. I prefer [name]Quinn[/name] over [name]Quincy[/name], so I suppose my favorite out of your names would be [name]Arden[/name]. Have you looked at other unisex names? [name]Harper[/name] or [name]Rowan[/name] would be a good match with [name]Emerson[/name].
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Arden[/name] sound nice together imo
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Antonia[/name] ([name]Toni[/name])
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Theresa[/name] ([name]Tess[/name], [name]Terri[/name], etc…)
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Sloane[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] ([name]Rue[/name], [name]Ruthie[/name])
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Avery[/name] ([name]Ava[/name], [name]Avie[/name])
[name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] (these match more than [name]Em[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name] to me, but it might be a little close)
And throwing it out there, I like [name]Emerson[/name] and [name]Gertrude[/name]. I know people have very mixed feelings on that one, but its uber strong and [name]Trudy[/name] is so sweet!
I forgot to mention that I really, really dislike one-syllable names. So, [name]Quincy[/name]'s nickname would be [name]Quinn[/name]. Plus, I can’t think of any nickname for [name]Quinn[/name]. I like [name]Harper[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name], but can’t think of any nicknames for either.
Out of the names listed, I would go with [name]Arden[/name]. I actually like [name]Elsa[/name] the best, but it doesn’t quite sound right with [name]Emerson[/name]. I only like [name]Quincy[/name] for a boy.
