If you name your child Immanuel, you should at least spell it right. Please read the verse and the footnote which should help you understand a little better.
[Is 7:14] Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.
Footnote:
[1] The sign proposed by Isaiah was concerned with the preservation of Judah in the midst of distress (cf Isaiah 7:15,17), but more especially with the fulfillment of God's earlier promise to David (2 Sam 7:12-16) in the coming of Immanuel (meaning, "With us is God") as the ideal king (cf Isaiah 9:5-6; 11:1-5). The Church has always followed St. Matthew in seeing the transcendent fulfillment of this verse in Christ and his Virgin Mother. The prophet need not have known the full force latent in his own words; and some Catholic writers have sought a preliminary and partial fulfillment in the conception and birth of the future King Hezekiah, whose mother, at the time Isaiah spoke, would have been a young, unmarried woman (Hebrew, almah). The Holy Spirit was preparing, however, for another Nativity which alone could fulfill the divinely given terms of Immanuel's mission, and in which the perpetual virginity of the Mother of God was to fulfill also the words of this prophecy in the integral sense intended by the divine Wisdom.

I'm a Christian and I know the meanings to a few names, Emmanuel means "God with us" or "God saves" it doesn't mean God. When Mary was told to call the child [Jesus] Emmanuel that wasn't the part of his name that meant God, but instead just a nickname sorta.

Your spelling and the context of your question suggests that you are not "operating on all 8 cylinders", or you've got some weird kinda "fuel" trying to operate your brain. Sober up and come back for a more intelligent question. God Bless you.

Hi There, congratulations if your son is a new born and good luck if he is not born yet. don't get hung up on a name, you name your son what ever you decide. the more important part of having a son, is doing the right thing in his upbring. love him, adore him, teach him, laugh with him, play with him and show him that life is worth living and encourage him in the things he shows interest in.

Sorry, the prophecy was already fulfilled some 2,000 years ago.
But that's not the sole criteria for being Messiah.
Emmanuel is just one of the prophetic signs. Jesus fulfilled them all.
Can your son?

I don't think a single christian said that, you came up with it on your own. And NO, it's not true. But go ahead name yourson Emmanuel, maybe he'll be a LOT smarter than you (and more mature).

no.. it wont make him a God... instead.. some people think that if u name ur child to a Saint or somewhat a biblical name... his attitude is opposite..like when u name Mary on ur child.. she will somewhat not a good girl ...

Wow, one prophecy down, 100's to go!
Maybe if you can get him to live a sinless life, do miracles, and die by crucifixion, you may start to have something there!
