I knew a girl from school who had this name. It was spelled Chanelle though.

if it wasn't a brand name you all would be having some *strong* opinions about this name... let's be real. All it means is "channel" or "canal".

I can't even... it's just so tacky and tasteless IMO.
Moony Says:
It's sound is displeasing and the designer brand connection makes it a tacky choice, in my personal opinion. Seeing it featured on an episode of the horrific "Blinging Up Baby" show has only fuelled my feelings of distaste towards it.
