While I like some place names....Chandler is not one that I'd use. Granted, most people wouldn't look at it as a place name, but either way I personally don't care for it.
lol! I literally just finished watching the Friends episode where Phoebe gives birth to the triplets and they have already picked out the name Chandler for one of the boys and it ends up being a girl!!
I think I probably like it better for a girl but I'm not a huge fan either way. I hear it and can't help but think of Friends.
The character makes me love it, but there would be obvious problems with the popularity of the show... In the episode I watched today he referred to himself as 'Chandie' if you were looking for a nickname lol.
very close to the top of my list of most hated names ever. sorry.
plus all i think of when i see it is "chanandler bong" from that one episode where they answer trivia factoid things about each other to see who gets to keep the good apartment.
Friends is all I think, and I didn't even really get into the show all that much. It's really hard to think of it objectively! I -think- I don't like it much. But I'd probably just as much get used to it on someone else if I met them
It's one of those names that I will never understand how people can like it. At all. First, it's totally associated with Friends. Second, it's an ugly, ugly name.
I'm not a fan of occupation names in general. Hunter, Fletcher, Carter, etc. Not that many people care that a chandler was someone who made candles (or outfitted ships, depending on when and where you were), but I don't like it.
