Re: Chantal
in reply to a message by BBH
And how do they pronounce it in Greece? It probably is the Elizabeth of there, as they obviously don't pronounce it like us. Chantal, Chantel and all varients are horrible, modern names.Just like Nevaeh.

Nevaeh's a strange comparisonIt's in no way like Nevaeh... The concept is completely different.

What's your definition of "modern"? As a given name, Chantal is about 240 years old. Its use in France originally honored St. Jeanne de Chantal, and she was canonized in 1767:http://saints.sqpn.com/saintj22.htm

Is it horrible because it's modern?

I disagree. I have always found Chantal to be a pretty French name, and the musical meaning makes it even more appealing.

Chantal to me will always be to do with chavvy English girls (no offence to anyone!!) I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to like it.
