[Opinions] Immanuel
Last night my boyfriend and I had one of our marathon conversations, which he talked about one of his most passionate topics: philosophy. He mentioned one guy, Immanuel Kant, who had the two theroies he really likes. I said we could name our kid Immanuel sort of after him (trying anything to get away from Lucas and Miles). His face wasnt a yes or no, so I added I knew a kid in high school named Emmanuel nn Manny. He was very small, but friends with the football guys, and what started out as a joke one day became his new nn for the group: The Man. He kind of liked it and warmed up to the idea.Anyway...during our discussion, we said he would need a VERY short (one syllable only) mn because its so long and so is his surname. He thought of Immanuel James. I really like James and would love to use it. WDYT of Immanuel? Immanuel James? Any other one syllable mn you can think of?(Note: Emmanuel is not an option. I would prefer it, but he said he wouldnt have it with an E - and I am willing to let it slide so I can use it)Also: Linus Jonathan has been on my mind a lot recently. WDYT (of the combo, I love the names and nothing said will change my mind on them individually)

Immanuel Kant is also the first thing that comes to my mind, not that that is a bad thing. I like Immanuel, it's on my favs list although spelt Emmanuel which i prefer. Immanuel James is nice i also like Immanuel Luke and Immanuel Josh/Joshua
Immanuel Josh is my fav

Kant was my first thoughtI'm hesitant to say that I have a Kant-ian world view, but in my philosophy classes, my opinion tends mostly to line up with Kant's theories. Regardless, I generally like it, so I support the name Immanuel. It flows well with James.Linus Jonathan flows well as a combo. It's nms but really nice for someone else.
