I pronounce Emmanuel em-mah-nu-EL.
It is not the name I would use, but I have really good associations with it, so I'm always glad to see it on someone else.

I pn both Emmanuel and Immanuel the same. I really prefer Emmanuel, mostly for religious beliefs, and I like the E look better.

Not that there is a right or wrong way to pn your kid's name, but its not Em or Im. Its more of e-man-u-el (the u-el tends to run close together), but maybe thats just how we say it. (This is how I've always heard it pn in church, and also when I had a classmate in HS Emmanuel, but he mostly went by Manny).

I think it works best with something short, one-syllable. Emmanuel Scott, Luke, Sage...so forth

I spell my son's name

I spell my son's name Emmanuel, I just think the spelling is prettier. My four children all have biblical but exotic names -
Emmanuel, Ezekiel (also known as Zeke), Shoshannah and Ishbel. WDYT?

I LOVE Emmanuel, for the meaning it's so religious I love it.

I say -em-an-u-el

I love the name Emmanuel!

As for the pronunciation, I pronounce Emmanuel much like the English pronunciation given in the name's entry on this site (and I pronounce Immanuel the same).

Edited for my description on the pronunciation.
