Jesus wasn't Immanuel. The prophecy of Immanuel was realized 500 years before Jesus' birth. Though some say it was a prophecy of Jesus..... it was meant for the King of Israel so he could see God's hand in the victories of his country.

Prophecies to Identify the Messiah, Which Jesus Does Not Fulfill:
1) Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus (the messiah) would be called Immanuel, which means "God with us." Yet no one, not even his parents, call him Immanuel at any point in the bible.
2) The Messiah must be a physical descendant of David (Romans 1:3 & Acts 2:30). Yet, how could Jesus meet this requirement since his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 show he descended from David through Joseph, who was not his natural father because of the Virgin Birth. Hence, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled.
3) Isaiah 7:16 seems to say that before Jesus had reached the age of maturity, both of the Jewish countries would be destroyed. Yet there is no mention of this prophecy being fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus, hence this is another Messiah prophecy not fulfilled.

I don't believe that any one ever said "Hey Immanuel" to Jesus, actually. I haven't "done" Xian mythology in a while, but I think Immanuel was an Old Testament prophecy (a failed one BTW) That got grafted on the Jesus story.

isaiah 7:14 is clearly not a messianic prophecy, but a prophecy for king ahaz. It doesn't make any sense to think that he'd be comforted by a sign which would take place for 500 years!
oh yea, jesus was also never called immanuel or "the might father etc..." (isaiah 9)

Therefore the Lord himself will give you [ The Hebrew is plural. ] a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and [ Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls and he or and they ] will call him Immanuel. [ Immanuel means God with us . ]
