Emersyn
This newfangled spelling of the classic name Emerson jumped 90 spots to the 304th spot. As Levine notes, "while strange spellings are becoming commonplace, the names themselves are rooted in tradition. It's a balancing act that says 'I'm unique, but not strange.'" Emersyn/Emerson is definitely an example of this.
The surname Emerson has been around the United States for a long time. Emerson College in Boston was named after minister Charles Emerson when he founded the school in 1880, and Ralph Waldo Emerson (above) is one of the most famous American poets of the 1800s. Nowadays, the first name Emerson (with the traditional spelling) is popular across the board - it's the #161 name for baby girls and #296 for baby boys. And if funky-spelling Emersyn keeps ascending the charts at the same rate, it could soon be in the top 100. Similar name Emery is ascending the charts for both genders, but it's already particularly popular with girls, currently at #130. With three versions of this name on the up and up, it will surely be a hot moniker for the next generation.
