Trashy sounding in the US, appropriate and probably beautiful if you live in France.

This name is oddly pretty. It always reminds me of horses because it is similar to “cheval”, the French word for horse. This spelling is stronger and less frivolous than Chantelle.
My name is Chantal, it is an honour to have this name... it represents my Dreams and in it is the meaning of Truth. If one cannot simply spell it and say it as it is pronounced (Shon tarl) then you do not see Truth as it is... to change it to an incorrect spelling of (Shan tel) is of a lazy mind. CHANTAL means singing waters... The Flow to which all things replicate from... it is concise in its Purity and it is concise in its Origin.
I was told as a little girl my name Chantelle means Singer and Stony Place in french. I love my name! In 21 years I haven't met anyone else with my name, and I live in North Wales.
Chantal is the origin of my name, "Shawnteal". My mother (a flower child at heart) changed the spelling a great deal, and the pronunciation slightly, but it's recognisable. I used to dislike my name, but the older I become, the more I appreciate the uniqueness of it, as well as the sentimental connections it holds for my mom, and through her, myself. It isn't even close to being common place, but it is not outlandish, either. I hope if I ever have a daughter, I will be able to give her a similarly unique name with as much meaning, depth, and love.

I first encountered the name Chantal in a book years ago and have always thought it a beautiful and unusual name. I like the nickname Chani.
Chantal is a very pretty name for a girl. I also like the spelling Chantelle.

That is my name and I love it. It is a pretty name and at the same time simple. I like how it is not popular but known enough to think of it as a strange name.
