I know a Dylan who's a girl! It suits her perfectly.
Emmett I think is a fine name, but I'll always think of Twilight. I think I like Emerson or Everett more.
Franco I don't like because I immediately think of the dictator. I like the nn Frankie (f) from Francesca though. Like others, I can't quite think of similar masc names. Francisco is still the dictator. Ferdinand was a colonizer. Fernando is much better, because that reminds me of the ABBA song.

I'm not keen on Dylan as a feminine name, personally. I see it as a purely masculine name, albeit one that is of a softer masculine kind.
Emmett I kinda like, but it might just be me (being British and all) but it's got a very old-timey American feel like Elias, Walter and Jebediah. While I plan on using it myself as a middle name, I cant help but feel it sounds insubstantial as a first name. The name is alien to me outside of Dr Emmett Brown (Back to the Future) anyway so it's not like I've heard much use to challenge this
Franco, if you're going for sibling names, does not seem to fit with Dylan and Emmett. Frank even sounds a bit out of place. Maybe its because Franko sounds stronger than Dylan and Emmett, both of the latter sounding softer and has no harsh sounds.
