Help[Opinions] I prefer Emanuel
in reply to a message by Renée
Emmanuel just looks too long and too similar to Emma.
I like David Emanuel and I also like Emanuel David. Maybe people find Em/m/anuel too uncommon or too "girly" (I hate that expression) as fn. But I also like the form Manuel. Manny seems like the obvious nn.
"But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
