I came up with the idea of Isaiah because I googled emmanuel to find where the verse was and then I realized Isaiah was actually a pretty nice name too, and the theme is just kind of neat.
I think that Luke is a good connection too, though less obvious, because Luke not only has the nativity but the annunciation (when the Angel Gabriel tells Mary she will concieve) which relates well to the original prophecy in isaiah.
That makes Isaiah or Luke emmanuel a very christmasy name (which I like, given the dec 26 due date)
