What do you think of the name Emmanuel? (for a boy)Do you distinguish Emmanuel from Immanuel or do you pronounce them in the same way?
Personally I say Emmanuel like the beginning of Emma and Immanuel like 'in' but with an M.And if you feel like it do you have any good middle name suggestions?TIA!

I love the name Emmanuel!As for the pronunciation, I pronounce Emmanuel much like the English pronunciation given in the name's entry on this site (and I pronounce Immanuel the same).Edited for my description on the pronunciation.

I spell my son's nameI spell my son's name Emmanuel, I just think the spelling is prettier. My four children all have biblical but exotic names -
Emmanuel, Ezekiel (also known as Zeke), Shoshannah and Ishbel. WDYT?

I pn both Emmanuel and Immanuel the same. I really prefer Emmanuel, mostly for religious beliefs, and I like the E look better.Not that there is a right or wrong way to pn your kid's name, but its not Em or Im. Its more of e-man-u-el (the u-el tends to run close together), but maybe thats just how we say it. (This is how I've always heard it pn in church, and also when I had a classmate in HS Emmanuel, but he mostly went by Manny).I think it works best with something short, one-syllable. Emmanuel Scott, Luke, Sage...so forth
