I think it's extremely tacky to name a child after a brand. Why not Chantal or Shannon or something similar? From your PNL, these names are solid: Athena, Cora, Daisy, Daphne, Eve, Fiona, Hazel, Iris, Juliet, June, Luna, Phoebe, Ruby, Scarlet, Tabitha, Violet.

Or Chantelle. Chantal looks tacky to me too for some reason.

Why does Chantal look tackier than Chantelle when Chantal is the standard spelling and Chantelle is the variant. I think I like Chantelle better, but it just seems a little ironic in the situation.

I don't know, it's just my gut reaction on seeing the name. :P I know a few Chantelles but no Chantals, so maybe I'm biased because of that...

Maybe... but if you were around native Fr. speakers, maybe you'd know some with the Chantal spelling.

Yup. Brand names or names that sound like they should be a brand name are right out.
