What do you think about Chanel? Is it too chavvy or is it a respectable name? I think it sounds beautiful but I’m not sure what others might think. Is this name too tied to the luxury brand? I know there’s parents these days naming their kids ridiculous things like Gucci though.

Can you explain why Chanel is in the offing, but you think Gucci is ridiculous ? Confused

ChampagneGold · 18/03/2024 22:59

Definitely not, it's really awful.

Prada?

therealcookiemonster · 18/03/2024 22:45

no, she will never be taken seriously

I'm not saying that is right

but that is what will happen

sorry OP.

Sorry op, I’m not keen. How about Chantel, for a similar sound without the brand association?

Gabrielle is a good suggestion if you want a link to the brand.

Wasn't there a Chanelle on big brother one year. Still awful but less obviously a brand

WhereAreWeNow · 18/03/2024 22:42

I don't see how it's any different to Gucci. It's definitely a name that is 100% associated with the brand/designer. What else would it be associated with?

It is no different to Gucci, which you consider ridiculous.

Ha! So true!

MartineBIT · 18/03/2024 22:41

Very much not for me. I find the idea of naming a child after a brand very odd.

Why not Gabrielle if you want a link to Coco Chanel?
