I watch out for names like that, too, especially in the Bible. My favorite name that I won't use is "Tzlophechad," though "Mushi" is way up there, too.

"Emiel" is interesting. I have heard of the name "Amiel," but this is a new variation. I wonder about its origins. If it's Hebrew, it could mean "G-d is my mother" or "my mother is of G-d," (em = mother, -i = my, El = G-d), paralleling the name "Aviel," which may mean "G-d is my father" (in a spiritual sense, not a physical one, obviously). Do you know if this Emiel is a woman?
