What do you think?

I normally don’t like longer, vowel heavy, drama heavy names but I am loving this!

Any thoughts, combos, nickname ideas appreciated! Thanks!

I love it.

[name]Emmy[/name] and [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name] all seem like they would work as nicknames but all seem rather bland compared to [name]Emmanuelle[/name].

I have also seen the variant Immanuela, but I don’t know it’s history, I don’t think it’s as commonly used as [name]Emmanuelle[/name]. I could see it as an interesting alternative to [name]Imogen[/name] though.

I like it but I’m biased because the name [name]Emmanuel[/name] is very close to my heart, my fav nn for [name]Emmanuel[/name] or [name]Emmanuelle[/name] is [name]Manu[/name] but [name]Emma[/name] would be nice too.

I would love a more creative nickname.
I think [name]Elle[/name] is beautiful & [name]Emma[/name] is sweet, but I would love to find something rare & gorgeous like [name]Emmanuel[/name].

I think [name]Nell[/name] is sweet, but I don’t know…it has such a different vibe than [name]Emmanuelle[/name]?

It’s most definitely nms, and never will be even though I like long feminine names. While I know this one is legit, it feels a little like someone stuck a few extra letters on the end of [name]Emanuel[/name] to make it usable for a girl. I strongly prefer [name]Imogen[/name] as a variant. (@stripedsocks suggested it the other way around but I think [name]Imogen[/name] isn’t used as often as it would seem when you look at [name]Berry[/name] posts.)

Depends where you are, [name]Imogen[/name] is a top 50 name where I am, Australia, and that tilts my view. [name]Imogen[/name] gets practically no love in the US compared to [name]Britain[/name] and Commonwealths.

I like both actually (Immanuela and [name]Imogen[/name]) but it’s true neither is common in the US at all.

I also love it. I think its a beautiful name!

Somehow the I beginning & the name [name]Imogen[/name] have such a different feeling (not as soft, sophisticated, worldly as [name]Emmanuelle[/name]

I’ve always been sad that [name]Emma[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name]/[name]Emily[/name]/[name]Amelia[/name] etc. are so popular and [name]Emmanuelle[/name] languishes. It does have a very elegant and romantic feel, though I wouldn’t have thought of “worldly,” no offense.

[name]Nell[/name] is so fresh-faced and scrubbed up I can’t picture it as belonging to the same name at all? Am I crazy?

I really can’t get into it, sorry. It’s just too long and very vowel-heavy.

11

I totally agree @stripedsocks that [name]Nell[/name] & [name]Emmanuelle[/name] have such different personalities.

I think [name]Nellie[/name] feels slightly closer, but it isn’t quite right.

[name]Elle[/name] is closest for me, but I want something less popular.

12

I love it. I think it’s a great name which has some vintage charm. Her nn might be Manu or Em. It’s femenine and cool. As it’s a bit long I think a short one-syllable MN like Leigh, Mae, Joy, Blythe, Claire or Blair would be the best option.
If you decide on a longer MN I’d choose something french-sounding.

[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Jean[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Rose[/name]

Or…

[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Calla[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Vera[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] [name]Althea[/name]

I think it’s gorgeous, romantic and sophisticated, and the much shorter and familiar nicknames such as [name]Elle[/name], [name]Emma[/name] or [name]Emmy[/name] make it very useable. I think it could work on some gorgeous French model or a stylish American girl easily.
