Wanted to show you guys something about that little discovery we found a few weeks back. This is from my Online Bible program. Look at who shall name the child through the different verses. Now I know the Aramaic primalists will start drooling, barking, and howling at the moon hehe, but the change we found stuck with me, and decided to look it up,...and bingo!
14 (MUR)
14 (LAMSA) Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
14 (ASV) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, {1} a {2} virgin {3} shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name {4} Immanuel. {1) Or the 2) Or maiden 3) Or is with child, and beareth 4) That is God is with us}
14 (DOUAY) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
14 (ROTHRHAM) Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign,???Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.
14 (RWEBSTR) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
14 (YLT) Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
14 (AV) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
14 (NKJV) "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. {Literally God-With-Us}

This does show how the Peshitta got it right and kept it right in accordance with the OT. In fact, if there was some look into this, I dought if any of the others actually got it right, IE Greek, Latin, Etc
This agrees with the angel saying she would name him to her actually naming Him at the end of the chapter.
