Or any other ch/sh sounding names. Or names that you'd prefer that are similar. Not Charlotte

A teenage girl named Cherry. Please don't do it.

Carla is beautiful
Love Cherry- I can't see it being a problem being a teen called Cherry in this day and age.
Georgia is ok- just prefer the other two.

At least spell it correctly or rather to match the pronunciation. Who the hell says Chan-tal. Its Chan-tell, is it

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/02/2019 11:41

Giselle sounds like a witches name to me.

Sheila?

Aww my Iranian friend says Chantal - Shon-tahl. Not everyone is British or of British extraction shock horror.

Don’t use it if you think you’ll ever end up in Australia but otherwise there isn’t really any issue. Other names with a ‘sh’ Sound include:
Charlotte (can be a Lola is you don’t like Charlie as a nn)
Charline
Cheryl
Sheridan
Shasmin/Shasmina
Shannon
Siboan
Shelly
Sheila
Sinead

What's the issue with Chantal in Australia? Bogan connotations or something disgusting? Smile

Aquilla · 28/02/2019 11:55

Defo bogan connotations down under! It would be a bit like you having a baby and calling her Waynetta. We'll maybe not as bad but it is your 'go to' trashy name unfortunately.

ColeHawlins · 28/02/2019 11:58

Ah TY

It's definitely gradually getting the same reputation here. Shame really. In itself it is a nice name.

Chey ("Shay")

TatianaLarina · 28/02/2019 12:10

Chantal is pretty bad, sorry. In the same boat as Cheryl, Chantelle, Chardonnay etc

At least spell it correctly or rather to match the pronunciation. Who the hell says Chan-tal. Its Chan-tell

Gah! Chantal is an classic French name after a saint.

Chantelle is simply the low rent version popular in the U.K. I’ve never met a French Chantelle, it’s a lingerie brand there.

bsc · 28/02/2019 12:11

Isn't Chantelle a completely different name?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 28/02/2019 12:12

Chantal is a French name, Chantelle is an underwear brand.

bsc · 28/02/2019 12:13

Ah, x-post!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 28/02/2019 12:13

Chardonnay is a classic in the making.

People who know that Chantal is a real name. That's who.
