I love this name!

I don't like having two sets of double letters in one name. Emanuelle or Emmanuele?

I'm surprised by the largely negative response to this name! A while back I asked about the similar Manuela, and fully expected most people to hate it and prefer the more elegant Emmanuelle.

I guess Emmanuelle is pretty long. Emmanuel is too. But, I like them both. There is something so charmingly imperious about them both.

One of my mother's cousins married an Emmanuelle. I remember at the engagement party, the family was very excited about someone with such an exotic, beautiful name marrying into our very boring WASPy clan. Most of us shortened her name to something closer to Manuelle - the beginning "Em" just sort of disappeared.

Inconveniently long. Give me Emily any day.

I think it's a really cool name, albeit out of place outside France or the Caribbean.

Sorry, I don't like it as feminine form of Emmanuel because it's too frilly for me but I prefer Emmeline, Emma, and Emily enough.

I've always loved how it looks, but when I pronounce it, it never sounds as elegant as I hope.

Don’t like it at all. It somehow manages to be overly frilly and yet masculine at the same time. I’m just confused. It contains Emma and Elle but also has man and manuel in it which is far too close to manual. Nope.

I like it

I like it.

Don't really like it
