There is a textual issue here, whether "she" will call him Immanuel or
someone else will.

Jesus was recognized as God present on earth, so there is not a problem with
the latter variant.  As to Mary making such an attribution about Jesus, you
might look to Lk 1.46-48 as an aknowledgement of the angel's promise to her
in 1.32-33,35 (cf. 1.45).

No, his first name was not Immanuel, but the meaning of this phrase was said
of him.

God Bless!
