Default Failed prophecies about jesus?

I'm tired of hearing my friend say, when we are talking about other religions "Well, were they prophecied about?"

Okay, I know there was the prophecy about the ass he rode, supposedly that's right.

Well he was going to be named Emmanuel...I used to think this was wrong, but it's not. It's not saying his name would be Emmanuel, but that a name people would call him would be Emmanuel which means prince of peace or whatever.

I konw about how in Isaiah in the hebrew, when he says "a virgin shall conceive" that the hebrew word used for virgin means unmarried woman, while the greek word in the new testament means a literal unsexed woman, if you will. I've heard this, is it true?

What other prophecies were there about Jesus, and what water do they hold?
