[Opinions] Re: Emmanuelle
in reply to a message by Bex
I just met an Emmanuelle from France who goes by "Manu."
I think the name fits okay with Theodora and Daphne, but not Barnaby or Rufus. It's just so French that distinctly English usage names don't fit with it.
I might try Alix, Adeline (French prn.), or Carine.
I like it equally for girls and boys. I prefer the English rather than the French pronunciation for boys though.
I do like it, it has a great flow.
