"My name is Chanel and I am 43 years old next birthday - I live and was born in the UK - I think my mother was ahead of her time - thank you very much mummy for giving this lovely name to me in 1971 :-)" Aug. 17, 2013: 
"Hai , my name is Chanel , and yes it gets annoying when people mispronounce a rather simple looking name. Also I hate it when black people say it's a hood rat name and then other people call it stereotypical. Other then that, I'm a chanel and I look like a Chanel I wouldn't be named anything else. The name Chanel carries a good aura about her. She's classy , exotic , spice , sweet , intelligent, poised , level headed, has a mind if her own and is wise beyond her years. It is a beautiful name. So prestigious and magnificent. Filled with Hollywood glam old and new. Then go and add on Chanel Alexandria ; coco Chanel one of the founding mothers of women's fashion today. Alexandria a city in Africa and the female version of alexander the great. I just like to think about how amazing my name sounds and the history it holds. It's the name of a legend. I'm named after a great women who had a mind of her own back in a time where women weren't suppose the really do nor think on the own. I'm very happy with my name. I almost got named Chloe Nicole which is cute but I love Chanel alot people. I'm just saying Chanel can beat any brittney/ Molly/ Emily/ amber/ Lauren / and Danielle any day of any week. Also I'm black but if you heard my over the phone you would think I'm white. An yes I was the only Chanel in my high school and everyone I mean everyone knew my name and therefore knew me."

My family calls me Chan." Sep. 27, 2008:

I grew-up in Hawaii and my BFF was Hawaiian. So, I gave Chanel the middle name, Nalani, to honor my BFF. Nalani means "Heavenly One", and Chanel is a walking testament to her namesake! She is beautiful, intelligent and poised. I feel truly blessed!" Sep. 23, 2010: 
"My name is Chanel and I used to detest my name so much ... it's because it's so difficult to have a nick name ... So far people that I am fond with call mee "Nellie" , "Nel" , "Chanelie" , "ShayShay" (because of my name pronunciation) , "Chanellie-Bellie" (got it in pre-school..) , and yeah ... well I've been living with this name for about 13 years aand I'm slowly starting to get used to it :)

It's okaaay ! But i just hate the usual incorrections like "Channel" && "Jandel" ! Those are the name's people seem to come up with heheh ! But i guess it's just a name ! And just imagine what it would be like with a different name !
Pretty weird ! =] Ceeyah !" Nov. 26, 2008: 
"Hey my name is Chanel and I used to hate it because no one else had the same name as me. I always used to wish that I was named something popular like Ashley but as I got older I grew to love it. When I transfered to the french school board I met many other girls named Chanel so I'm guessing that it's more of a french thing to name your daughter Chanel." Nov. 23, 2008: 
"hey its my name too. im 14 and nobody i no around my age has it. i think its cool and i am called el or ellie at home.
