"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."

For a long time I was the only Chanel I knew, except for the friends of my mom who named their baby's after me. Through the years, I've come across more and more with my name. The one thing we all had in common was that we were good looking:) My friends do call me Channel, as a nickname, because they know I hate it and they are the only ones who can. My family calls me Chan." Sep. 27, 2008:

"My daughter's name is Chanel and she loves her name. She thanks me all the time for giving her a unique name. She likes to use her middle name also, which is Nalani. 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 :)
I guess because I don't know anyone else with this name bugs me ... but whatever :D hehe" Jul. 29, 2010:

"Hello
Ive named my daughter Chanel and she is 12 months old. My first daughter is named Alicia and when she was little everybody said what a beautiful name that was. Unfortunatley, the same has not happened here and im thinking of changing Chanels name to Madeline. What do you think? Shes still young to change it..but i have to do it now or never. Sooo confused."

"Im not the biggest fan of my name lols ! :P
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.
