No. It doesn't say they will call Him "God with us." It says they will call him "Immanuel."
Nobody calls him Immanuel.
Nowhere in the Bible does it indicate Jesus was ever called Immanuel or God with us. And you don't call Jesus that either. You might as well give up on that argument. It doesn't fly.
(Please note that in the scripture the word "him" is not spelled with a capital letter.)
My name happens to be "James" meaning "the supplanter." My mother wanted to call me James for that very reason. So she named me James. James is on my birth certificate. She didn't name me George and then argue that I was really James because I was "the supplanter."
