It's hard to choose. I love Emmanuel
seems all my family likes it too
:) thank you for your comments. I guess I'll wait until he gets here in a couple of days.
Emmanuel! (Manny) (manuel)
Emmanuel is beautiful so I wouldn't shorten it anyway...some like to have a nickname for their kids though. And i have never met a naughty boy named Emmanuel I have met a couple and they have both been lovely boys. The name we have chosen for our son can't really be shortened and I'm happy with that cause too many people in my family try to shorten our kids names and for me it takes away the purpose and meaning of it in the first place. If you cant decide beforehand you will know as soon as you see your son what you want to name him though. It's just sooo hard ae we've been having a hard time agreeing too but finally settled on a first...no middle yet lol. Good luck :) it is a dilema.
I tend to look at them in terms of the nicknames they'll get... I like Emmanuel the best as a whole, but then I like Abraham more as I like the nickname Abe... (and not sure what nickname an Emmanuel gets!) I know an Omar that I don't like, so not keen on that, lol. Anyway, something to think about if you're someone who will shorten your sons name regularly...
You can always save all three and when you meet him once he is born have him help you decide which name he is!
And just a pointer....Emmanuel is the first name you listed lol
I love Emmanuel...I wanted to name my son this but we have chosen another biblical name for him
I agree with the first two comments.
1 Emmanuel
2 Abraham
3 Omar
Agree with above comments. Omar :)
Omar is definitely my first preference! Then Abraham (Abe) then Emmanuel :)
To me Omar is a very strong name.
