Comments on Emery:
I love this name for a little boy. It works great as a middle name.

I prefer this name for a boy. It is a nice masculine sounding name.

I like the name Emery! I prefer it on a boy. Although I know people have been using it on girls which isn’t bad. It’s just a masculine name to me that does have enough sensitivity in it to use for a girl. But I just prefer it on a boy!

I prefer Emery on a boy as well. On a girl, it’s not quite my cup of tea, but not bad at all. 🙂 The name is similar to Emily, though, so I can see how it sounds sort of feminine.
As for Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn’s sibset, I think that Emery and Avery are a bit too close…

I agree and I think Avery, Emery & Finley are all better on boys! 🙂 I like Em names for boys, Emerson, Emilio, Emmett, Emrys and Emery.

I like Em- names on both genders (including Emma and Emily, but those are WAY too popular for me 🙂 )
For boys, Emrys and Emil/Emile are my favorite Em- names. For girls, Emilia and Emmeline.
It’s kind of weird that I have all these sounds I like (‘or’, -ian, Em-, etc.)! 🙂

Emery is alright but I think it kind of sounds like Emily said in a mockingly Chinese way… you know? Finley, Avery and Emery are a bit too matchy and I think Finley and Avery are both better on boys. Avery is my favourite boys’ name at the moment 🙂

I like Avery for a boy and Harper for a girl 🙂
Right now my favourite girls’ names are Eve, Millarose (I kind of made it up from Milla and Rose, clearly haha), Florence, Wren, Constance, Sasha, Samara, Edie and Alice. What about you? What names are your latest favourites?

Millarose you say just like Milla Rose but it’s all in one word. Sasha for a girl (you asked me about girls’ names only 😉 …though I like it on a boy too) and yeah I quite like Edith as well as just Edie 🙂
For boys I liked Avery, Wilder, Arlo, Raphael and Finn.
Nora and Fergus are lovely 🙂 One of my best friends is called Nora Elisabeth.

Yay! It’s so cool to find someone who has the same taste in names as me, AND who liked to discuss them! Quite rare amongst people my age/my friends. Although my best friend love to discuss names too 🙂 Her favourites are Xanthe and Edith for girls.
