What are your thoughts on the names Emmanuel and Isaiah?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

There are far nicer names from the OT.

Awful names imho, sorry OP , if you like them though, have them it is no ones business.

I really like Isaiah. I'm less keen on Emmanuel (and would prefer to spell it Immanuel).

I think they are both lovely. Isaiah was on my first short list for a boy but had a girl anyway!

I wouldn't use them. I know an adult Emmanuel band it suits him.
They are very religious names and I would expect the family to be evangelists or something.

Isaiah is lovely, Emmanuel is too much of a mouthful for me.

Both I would assume very religious names.

They are very religious names! Would you mind if everyone thinks "prophet" as soon as they hear your son's name?

LostwithSawyer · 16/07/2018 22:05

Not keen on either.

MinaPaws · 16/07/2018 22:18

I love them both. Love Isiah best. But have a friend called Emmanuel. Gets shortened to Emmin or Manou

haribosmarties · 16/07/2018 22:21

Love Isiah.
I want to like Emmanuel but to me its very feminine... and reminds me of the famous french porn film sorry!

I don't like Emmanuel
