First impressions on Emmanuelle? It's the only girl's name so far that DH & I both like, but the few Emmanuelle's we've known have been French and I'm not confident it works outside French culture? We don't have French heritage btw. Nickname probably Emmy.

My school was called Emmanuel. So it'd be a no from me.

It also sounds a little like Manuel, and I fear I'd channel Basil Fawlty a little too often.
