WDYT? We are not at all religious...would Emmanuel be weird on a kid who was not from a religious family?

Re: Emmanuel

    I really like the name Emmanuel.

    My only reservation about it would be the series of "sexy time" movies from the 70s/80s with the same name.

    ETA: The movies were spelled Emanuelle, so may have another pronunciation. Are you saying it like the actor from Webster?

    Yeah, I would probably assume that you were religious. I don't know if you would mind that or not.

    I would think it was pretty odd.  Hmm

    Its a pretty big name considering it means "God with us", and was used for a name for Jesus Christ.

    This.

     That being said, I love the name. (But am also Christian myself. Smile )

    That was my grandfather's name! I really wanted to name my daughter Emmanuelle until I found out that it was a metonymy for soft core 'sexy-time' movies :(

    I don't think that Emmanuel would make people think of that though because it doesn't have the 'Elle' ending in it's masculine form.
