Why was Jesus never called Emmanuel? (Matthew 1:23)

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

	23 	“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).

This question was posed to me as an objection to Christianity by an atheist, and I did not know how to answer it.
