Comments for the name Chanel

My friend's name is Chanel. She was named after a woman named Coco Chanel.

I used to think Chanel was pronounced like channel - chan-el instead of sha-nel!

I hate this name. It's overused in England, practically every other girl being born at the moment is called Chanel.

Chanel Cole is an Australian singer and she is wonderful bearer of it with style and individuality.

I love this name, it sounds so sophisticated!

In the movie and book series The Cheetah Girls, Chanel is one of them.

Chanel Iman is an American fashion model.

I think Chanel is a beautiful name for a baby girl. It is very unique, and is also a nice brand name with handbags, makeup, and fashion clothes!

Chanel nail polish! This name is great! I pronounce it sha-nel.

Ugh. So tacky. If you love Coco Chanel that much, why not use Gabrielle, Coco's real name?

Chanel is the name of one of the characters in the Cheetah Girls.

Brand names are trashy names for trashy people. Chanel is a tacky name.

I agree with the above comment. I can imagine all the stereotypical airheads with this name in stories.

I would have to disagree with the above comments, no offence. I love this name. Never heard it as a name before I met a kind American girl.

I personally think Chanel is a wonderful, happy, unique, splendid, fantastic, magical name. It is so delicate, upperclass, and simply beautiful.

Chanel is not a name. Why do people name tneir children after brands? It looks so stuffy, pretentious, and just plain stupid.

I like this name. It's very sophisticated and beautiful!

The name is pretty, but it'll inevitably be associated with Coco Chanel.

Chanel is a classy brand, but this name is anything but.

Wow. Incredible meaning "pipe". I would love to have such a fantastic name meaning. -.-

Brand names on children are just a horrible idea, and "class" your offspring irretrievably, I'm afraid. (Snobbish but accurate).

I'm sorry but this is not sophisticated. It's a classy brand but sounds so trashy when used as a name. So many people naming their daughter this because it's classy? No. Your child is not a handbag. Not really unique. People can do better. I agree with the comment saying you should call your daughter Gabrielle if you love Coco Chanel so much. But people strangley enough want their child associated with an expensive brand. This doesn't give you immediate style and make you look classy on first impression when learning your name.

This name is trashy and ugly. It's one letter away from "channel". I don't get why people name their kids after brands they can't afford, like this one. Plus it means pipe, and it has inspired ghetto spellings such as Chanelle/Shanelle.

This is a brand name. It sounds tacky and trashy to name your daughter Chanel. And Coco Chanel isn't exactly the best namesake.

This name is considered very ghetto-ish in the US.
