What do you think when you hear the name Emmanuelle?

[beanlet]

My DH, who is 15 years older than me, won't allow it if we ever have a girl (currently working on no.1 who is a boy, phew). But I love it. Lots of nice nicknames too.

Do you really want to know?

I sound like a total perv here but all I think of is porno movie. Sorry.

I immediately think of the films - but I expect that's not the answer you're after!

porn

Same as them ^ sorry

Is it pronounced emmanuel-ah?

Yeap - that film.

And she would never be able to train as an astronaut either.

Emmanuel petit - the French footballer

Ok, so I know you mean the feminine version, but you did ask for thoughts

Porn.

(HATE it when DH is right!) OK... I guess it's a baaad idea then

Porn here too, and I haven't seen it even.

I thought of the male version of the name and my ex-sil's DH who has the same name (also shortened to Manu as someone else mentioned)

yep Porn and then my extremely old and very oldfashioned music teacher whom was Emanuel and if i take it furthe than that Faulty towers

Porn!

I think of a tarty french girl I used to work with.

FWIW I really like the name but never would use it because of her.
