I'm really into the mn Chanel.

my current favorite girl names are Ava, Mia, and Scarlett.

Ava Chanel Wakefield. I think it has some class, but obviously it's Coco Chanel's last name.

thoughts?

Ava Chanel is absolutely gorgeous!

[coconutchica.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you think so! I really thought this one was gonna be disliked all around even though it's beautiful!

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

me too!

oh, I know, I always think that...can't use Elizabeth as a mn anymore lol

but it's better than my last name, Arnold. nothing beats being called a boy's name all the time in gym! (/sarcasm)

Not into Chanel but, Ava Chanel is pretty

I really like that name, it is very pretty! :) It doesn't matter if its related to Coco Chanel, to tell you the truth I wouldn't have even thought about that link between the name. I think Ava Chanel sounds better that Mia Chanel, just my opinion... You use what YOU like....!

Honestly? I think Chanel is one of those names that sound like they're trying too hard to be classy. Ava, Mia and Scarlett are all pretty, though.

I really like Ava and Mia.
Chanel really does remind me of perfume, but I like Chantal/Chantel.

class isnt the exact word i would use to describe it. it reminds me of that story from some time ago about a woman screaming at her two kids named armani and gucci or whatever ridiculousness that was. trying too hard to be classy or "rich" sounding.

but i have to admit i do kind of like it with any of those three names as a middle.

Ditt a couple of the others who don't like it because it sounds faux-classy. To me it's like the names Crystal, Diamond, Tiffany... names that are trying to sound rich and pretentious but instead come off rather cheap. I think I'd feel the same about any fancy haute couture name being used on a child.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

ITA. I was going to say it's like using Diamond as a name.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Those names are also all.. eh, hooker names.

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

Chanel just screams "I'm trying to sound elegant! Look at me, I'm classy!" I think it's awful.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I think it sounds REALLY trashy. Sounds like you're trying too hard to sound very yuppy.

[composure.livejournal.com]

Ava will be my future little girl's name. I LOVE it.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

nonono, it sounds like you really AREN'T classy but think that by giving your kid a designer name they'll somehow become classy. I much prefer Coco.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Chanel, but if you are going to go for it, I'd use a different spelling. For instance: Sionelle, or perhaps a similar name like Siobhan.
