[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 313898, member: 27"] It's not new to do this, though. One of my uncles got his mother's maiden name as his first name when he was born in 1947. My mother got a variation on my grandfather's middle name even earlier than that. I think it's just gotten more and more wacky (as in inappropriate surnames) as people have embraced silly names for their kids in general. I will say that while Emerson is kind of cringey, it sure beats the hell out of this whole Aiden/Jayden/Kayden/Leyden/Creighton/Leighton/Peyton nonsense I see among all these [I]bourgeois[/I] millenial parents around here. if you like the name, fine---just be ready for your kid to be one of a dozen Aidan/Caydin/Shayden kids in their classes, and all those rhyming names in one place will cause chaos in the classroom.
