Spell it "Emery," it looks more feminine than with an "O" in it

I think is does to.. is there a female spelling??

Emery looks the best! Love the name!

How random, Im not hating on your name choice or anything I just thought of it as strictly male. The only Emery Ive ever met was an 85 yr old man from poland. I would go with the ie spelling at the end

I think "Emory" & "Emerie" will always be misspelled...Emery looks the best anyways!

I always thought Emery was male and Emory was female. There is also Emerey. Its not strictly male at all.

I have always seen "Emery" for the girls spelling..I would just go with this one as to avoid any misspellings on her name.

I also just saw a Emmarey or maybe it was Emmary.

Emory/Emery is traditionally a male name. Emory looks the most masculine, Emery would be my choice as I think that is how most people would spell it. With Emerie, she might have to spell her name out all the time.

Emery. There are lots of girls with this name now, it has gotten way more popular for girls than boys at least around here. I dont know any boys with it at all.

I totally love Emmarey and Emerie just looks pretty in the way it’s spellt.

i don’t care for the name sorry, but i would go with Emory, the name makes me think of an emery board, so i wouldn’t use the Emery spelling, Emerie just looks made up.

We called our daughter Emerie Claire 8 years ago and there is no spelling issue. Shesays like Emilie but with a R!

I am due in Feb with a girl my husband and I love the name Emerie. I just came across this spelling and really like it before we were trying to decide between Emory and Emery but now I think we will go with Emerie. I work in a pediatric office where we have two kids with the name Emory one male and one female. I really like it as a girls name.

My dads middle name is Emery and I’ve always thought if I have a daughter I would give her that name. I’m surprised to see so many others like and use the name too! Emerie is a cuter way to spell it, but I don’t if it will be difficult for others to spell

My husband and I named our daughter Emeri"

My daughter is 9 years old her name is emeri daun. Her dads name is emery

My daughters name is Emerald and we call her Emeri for short, I like the ie, I think we just are trying to shorten it as much as we can. I like Emarie too... I do think of emery board with the y

We named our son Emry. I loved the name Emery but when I asked my husband if he liked it. He said I love the name Emry not Emery. We went with Emry...I am worried it is a bit girly because those that haven’t met him assumes he is a girl. He does have a very masculine middle name so he may become a middle name kinda guy if the Emery name becomes more feminine.

I wanted Emery for a boy, but I’m having a girl. So we decided to keep the name for our daughter. The thing is.. I hate when people mispronounce a name instead i decided to spell it Emry, so there is no mispronunciation with the silent \"e\". Can I still pull off Emry for a girl name?

Emery and Emry are two different names. Emery is generally pronounced with 3 syllables, and Emry 2
I think Emry defienatly can be a girl name :)

Emmaire

My name is Emory. And imma girl. So y’all can hush.

Emory is my sons name I have only ever met or heard of males with the name. It is a German name dating back to the 18th century. The meaning is masculine,strength,home-power. Therefore you should not name your daughter Emory.

I love names that are typically male for girls. Just because someone named their boy Emory does not mean peopke cant name their girl Emery or Emerie or Emory. Im a lady and my name is Marc. Its been an awesome 27 years! I like Emerie but I do understand the spelling concern as most people think my name is Mark.

My name is Emory and I am a girl. I didn’t always love my name growing up, but I have come to appreciate it now. My parents chose it because it was an old family name. People always compliment me on my name when I have to show my ID for something. It is also nice sometimes to not share your name with countless other people. Personally, I’m not a fan of the spellings that try to feminize it like Emerie- It’s an old name and I think you take something away from its character when you do that.

My Dad’s name is Emerick. I want to name my daughter Emory or Emerick. I like male names for females in my profession not being shoe to determine the sexy or origin of an applicant is golden. I’m Thinking of the future now the cutie now only. Cheers!

My best friend’s name is Emory. And she is a girl!

I named my baby girl Emory. I always thought it was a non gender specific name. People do get confused sometimes though.

Back in the day, it was a strictly male name. I have a neighbor who’s dad has that name. We decided that if we were to have a girl, yes Emory is cute. But with a boy he was afraid of people mistaking the name for Emily when heard audibly.

I used Emory for my third son, picked it specifically because it wasn’t wood, not common and has become an either or name. My first two boys are sage and Phoenix.

My name is spelled Emory and most people think it’s a girl

My name is Emeiry and I like the way it is spelt. I also like the spelling Emerie.

i’m a girl btw

My daughter’s name is Emerie Louise ( aka Emmie-lou ) I have loved the name since I first heard it. My favorite quality is that like my name Morgan, it is both unisex and a surname. Also like my name I see people pause, and older people love to comment about its feminine "rebirth".
Just to me, it would seem like Emory is the most masculine way you could spell the name, but I admire unique spellings so that is why I substituted the y the -ie.
She is almost a year old and so far no one has confused it for "Emily" or "Anne-Marie" or any other similar names I feared they would.
As for the meaning not fitting a girl. I hope my daughter is everything I’m not, strong, brave, and has power over her life.

(btw LOVE Emry too)

My 10 month old son is named Emory. I chose it to be different. Only other two Emory’s I knew of were older men, until my cousins ex named her daughter Emery, spelled differently. Definitely can go for either gender.

My son is a month old and we named him Emry. I’ve always loved the name; and I thought I made it up when I was younger but I guess not lol it is a legit name. I have no idea where I heard or got it from though. I’ve had some people also tell me it sounds feminine but I don’t believe so; I do think it could go both ways for sure; although it was my only name for a boy if it was a girl I was still going to use it. It’s different and mysterious sounding and I think it fits him to a tee. He also a boy middle name so maybe will end up calling him that but I hope not. Emry Anthony.

We named our daughter Emery Ann in 2003. At that time, Emery had never been in the top 1000 names for a girl, according to the social security web site. At the time, we found the name in a book, and thought it was pretty. I was also attracted to the name’s meaning, "industrious leader." We have always received lots of compliments for her name. Occasionally people think we are saying "emily" or "ann marie" but it is easily corrected. We went with the Emery spelling because Emory looks more masculine to me, and Emerie looks too girly girly. People assume the correct spelling most of the time, so i think we picked well!!

I named my daughter Emori Grace this past June. Looks like it’s pronounced em-mor-ee but it’s just like the others, Emory, just with an I to look feminine. I love it. I almost spelt it Emri but didn’t. No matter which way someone will always pronounce it wrong but it’s okay I still love it and it won’t hurt to correct them lol

my daughter is named Emerie Rose. i get so many compliments on it. only problem is that it is mistaken alot for Emily at first.

I ended up spelling my daughter’s name as Emeri. I believe this way looks moret feminine and I get compliments all the time. Most names that are unisex ending "y" are commonly males and "i" for females. I have had no problems with anyone pronouncing my daughters name either so I love the decision I made!!

I am having a girl in a few weeks. My husband and I like the name Emery. I am having a hard time on which way to spell it and also which way to pronounce it, either with 3 syllables or 2...."Em-mor-ee" or "Em-ree". I think of a girl when I hear the name. It’s a beautiful and unique name which is what we like. Any suggestions would be helpful. I’m really having a hard time! Lol

My husband and I are expecting a son and want to name him Emery Keene but he does not like the spelling. He prefers Emmery or Emory. I am not sure about them. Are there any other ways to spell it besides the above?

Who cares if it’s traditionally a male’s name?! My name is Jesse and I’m male. Jesse is a 100% masculine name that was corrupted in the 80’s and 90’s when people decided to name ALL their daughters "Jessica". We just named or first daughter born in 2015 "Emerie" and love the name and it’s uniqueness.

I don’t think it’s a male’s name at all despite the meaning being manly it sounds really girly my daughter’s name is cadence Emory and I love it for a girl

DH loves the name Emery but since its for a girl we want to spell it either Emmarie, Emerie, or Emaree. not too sure what spelling we like best.

My sons name is Emory, he will be 3 yo in a few months. I have grown to love it. At first after I named him I kept thinking he didn’t really look like an Emory. But he definitely grew rite into it. And I get so many compliments.

My daughters name is Emarie. We love it! I never once thought that this sounds like a male name at all. Its so close to Avery, Emily, Marie etc and those are all beautiful and feminine.

My name is Emery, a male. Named after my Grand father. I have seen it used for both genders, but mainly for a male. seems like is it getting more poplar for a female now a days.

My name is Emerie. I think Emerie Is A Very Unique Name! I Kinda Dont Like Emery nor Emory Only Because Its Not As Different. To Me Emery Doesnt Sound Like A Guys Name At All! It Should Strictly Be A Girls Name! But To The Guys Who’s Name Is Emery! Rock It! I Bet Your Unique just Like Your Name!

My husband is named Emory (he’s actually a III) and he gets sooo many compliments on his name. However, it’s often misheard when spoken so he will receive things he ordered over the phone (or at starbucks!) under the name Emily or Annmarie. I think it’s a fine name for both sexes, but if you want to femininze it I would go with a spelling without the "O".

Our daughter is Emorie, and we don’t have any spelling issues with the name.

My husband and I just had a boy and we named him Emmory. We liked the name Emory but chose to put two M because my husband name is Emmanuel.

My daughter is Memorie. I thought Emery was too harsh. Emery and Emorie are my favorite spellings. I struggled so much trying to decide on the spelling for her name, but I eventually went with the youneek one. I think Memorie looks much pretty than Memory. Same for Emory and Emery. The E makes it look "girlier" :) Also, her nickname is Emmy! I think it’s sweet :)

I’ve seen a couple people on this thread ask if it is pronounced with three syllables "Em-er-ee" or "Em-ree"
I have the same question! If you know, can you please answer?:)
I am having a girl in March and love the spelling "Emmarie" but it’s also very important to me that she doesn’t grow up always having people misspronounce her name. If Emmarie is pronounced differently than "Emerie" then I will change the spelling now before it’s too late.

Megan, the spelling Emmarie I would think as 3 syllables emma-rie. My daughter’s name is spelled Emery and 9/10 people say em-ry, which I prefer. It bugs me when people say em-er-y...but like I said, 9/10 get it right :)

what about Amory?

My husband and I really like the name. But we like it pronounced Em-ry. He would like to spell it Emmrie. Do you think that spelling is crazy? I kinda hate when people make up spelling of names but at the same time I think it looks feminine and is phonemically spelled. Thoughts?

We have a son named Emry. In six years we haven’t come across anyone else with that spelling. We like how unique it is and it definitely fits him. Also I like older names that aren’t that popular. I think it’s always going to be trendy to take male names and give them to girls. Personally I like Emily for a girl way better than Emery. That spelling reminds me of an emery board.

Funny my baby sisters name is Emory Elizabeth... So I guess that that’s my favorite way to spell it😅

My son’s name is Emry, I love love love it! However everyone does spell it wrong and some times people pronounce it "EmORy" but I’m used to it now, used to bother me.

I’m due in July and me and my boyfriend decided on Emoriie for our daughter. Its uniquely spelled but pronounced the same.

HEY MY NAME IS EMERIE 😠

Emory Rae is my little girl’s name. I love it! It’s spunky and not too girly...just like her!

My brother is named Emory. My friend is Emerie. I think the spelling with the O is more masculine while Emery and Emerie are much more feminine with the E and IE. However, the names, spelled either way, are unisex names.

We spell it Emmery

My name is Emory,my father was Sr. And my first born son is Emory the 3rd. As a child growning up in the 60’s and 70’s I did not like my name becuse it was to different. I was the only Emory I knew. As I matured I now appreciate the uniqueness of my name and now very happy that my given name is shared with so many boys and girls. I am the Emory in Memory, I feel blessed.

My name is Emerie and honestly i love it. I love not sharing my name. I dont get confused with others. I get alot of attention by my name so im never forgotten. My name is a good pick up line for people to try to get to know me. so you can say my name made me a social and loved person and i love it everyday. It isnt perfect and people sometimes gets confused and how its written and pronounced but it entertains me

My son is Emory, named for his great grandfather and several other male ancestors. It’s a nice name.

Emoreigh

PEOPLE! It’s a unisex name! You don’t have to put name sin catagories

I have a 7 year old daughter with the name Emry. I have no regrets with it. Its girly yet strong 😁

I love this name for a girl. I like the spelling Emerie or Emeri

My daughter’s name is Emery Ann. She loves her name. In 5th grade her class did projects that included researching their name origin, and she found a meaning "industrious leader." She came home beaming, "that’s me!" Over the years we’ve received many compliments, and she has always been the only Emery in her class. It was originally a German male name, but it started rising in popularity as a girls name about 10 years ago. Very occasionally people hearing her name for the first time think they are hearing the more common "Emily" or "Ann Marie."

My daughter’s name is Emry. Soon after she was born I was nervous about the spelling I chose, she is 3 years old today and her name is perfect. She is unique and beautiful and full of life, she is an Emry. I receive so many compliments on her name. I hope she loves it as an adult.

I named my son Emory February 2015 and I have received many compliments on his name choice. It also fits his personality as aneeded energetic boy, but will sound strong and respectable as a man. Many people pronounce it Emm-ree, which we don’t mind. I like the spelling Emeri for a girl. Beautiful name, but if naming a girl beware the meaning is "strong man of the household"

My middle name is Emeri, I am a girl chill out guys it's a unisex name

My daughter is Emerie Jayde born on Halloween day 2017 and I LOVE her name

Emery and its variations literally means "abrasive." Is that the identity you want for your daughter??

My 16-year old daughter is Emmarie Jaye. It is a combination of all her grandparents' names (Emery/Emory/James "JayJay"/Marie. Wanting to incorporate all the James' and all the Maries (there are several of each), we went with Emmarie Jaye. No matter the spelling, it is a derivative of the german name, Emmerich, meaning industrious leader. but some sources will say it means brave and powerful. All very good adjectives. The only issues we find is people often mishear it as Emily or Ann-Marie, and often misspeak it as "EMMA - MARIE". She is complimented on her beautiful name every time! Her only complaint is her initials are EW. (Sound it out :-)

My name is Emery. I got the name from my grandpa on my moms side of the family. I'm not sure how he got the name. Unfortunately my mother and grandfather have passed away. My mothers name was Frances Emery. I have a nephew named Michael Emery and my sons name is Devin Michael Emery. My other nephew is Emery James. So hopefully the name will continue in our family. I personally love my name.

My name is Emery and I'm a girl and I've met a guy who's name was spelt the same as mine and a girl who's name was spelt with an O so I think both names can be boy or girl

My name is Emorie and people always say it wrong we were thinking about changing the spelling to Em'marie but Emorie is nor common

Hello My name is Emery. My parents named me with an e so they can call me eme. In my opinion Emory looks like a boy name Emery looks like a girls name so if you thinking about naming a girl I would say Emery if you naming a boy Emory.

We named our son Emery ('21)
I know a older man in his 80s named the same but spelt Emmery.
