“Chantal” is a better spelling, “Chantelle” is too frilly.

First off, the name is supposed to be Chantal, not Chantelle, and Chantal is pretty dated here in France. Chantelle is definitely a chav name - you can see her drinking Stella Artois on Jeremy Kyle with her son Tyson and her daughter Bailey.
Ew. Chantelle is such a chavvy name here in the UK... If people like this name because it ends in -elle then I suggest going for the name Rochelle instead...
Chantelle is pretty, but I MUCH prefer the name Chantal, and the pronunciation shawn-TAHL. I think Chantelle is a bit too girly.

This is best suited for ditzy people. It's very common and chav-ish and dull. Plus, if you live in the UK, you'd be constantly compared to the bimbo Chantelle Houghton. Who'd want that?
I always liked the name Chantelle and prefer this spelling the best, it looks so feminine. This name is definitely not an overused name or a fad name which is nice.

I would like to advise you the name CHANTELLE has another meaning to it. It also means "unknown fire" in French.
It can also be related to the French word "Chanté" and the French feminine diminutive suffix "elle".
