Ohh, I keep forgetting how much I love Emmanuel ^.^
Unfortunately, though, no good combos immediately pop out at me. Probably a shorter mn, though, since Emmanuel is quite long.

I went through a phase of really liking it when I was in search for a fn for the nn Manley. I still like it quite a bit, but I like it spelled Emanuel better. Emanuel Edmund and Emanuel Padraic are my favorite combos.

I love Emmanuel with Xavier and other similar strong names.

I like it, but it's heavy, so I prefer it as a middle name. My stock combo is Felix Emmanuel.

I loved it when I was really little. I still love the meaning, but I can't stand the sound. As for combos, the only ones I can think of kind of suck, but I always had a tendency to pair it with short names beginning with R. It definitely needs a short MN, since it's so long and complicated and full of vowels and sonorants.

Love it with all my heart. It's in my top three and if I couldn't use one of the other two I would not hesitate a second to use Emmanuel. I like the fact that there are no obvious nicknames. It's also masculine without being macho. Sophisticated but not pretentious.
Emmanuel Saul Aloysius is my Emmanuel combo but it needs some work. There's too much of a repetitive sound with all the Ls.

Obviously I'm a fan of this gorgeous name, as it's my DS's mn. My DH actually picked it, since I picked the fn. I do prefer it for a mn tbh.
