Emersyn Kate vs. Emerson Kate

We love the name Emerson (Emersyn) Kate for a girl, but are conflicted on which spelling to use. The original spelling is Emerson, but we think adding the ’yn’ looks more feminine with our last name. However, I am a teacher and I have seen so many parents use ’yn’ to make a name look more girly and it has gotten to be a little ridiculous. Thoughts? (And yes, we know that Emerson is originally a male name, but many other female names we that way once too.)

Spelling it Emersyn doesn’t make it "more feminine." It makes the parents look illiterate.

I think ’teen mom’ when I see the ’yn’

Sorry, it’s just a bad choice for a girl when its so clearly not a girls name no matter how mangled the spelling
