Charnette Fair is an American retired volleyball player. She was part of the United States women's national volleyball team. She participated at the 2007 Pan American Games.
Uh, every name is invented, FYI. Charnette just reminds me of charnel house and that's why I dislike it. Not because I think it's "made up," which is a ridiculous reason not to like a name.
It’s not great but it’s not THAT bad, it just looks like a combination of Charlotte/Charla and Anette or Antoinette. I wouldn’t use it but I definitely think it’s better than a lot of modern names like Everleigh.
Based on my findings and own personal impressions, this isn't an inherently "bad" name and it seems to be rather misunderstood. While I personally won't use it for my future children, I wouldn't hate on anyone who chooses to do so. It's not nearly as bad as my fellow commenters are making it out to be. A far worse name, in my opinion, would be "Abcde" and is an actual name being used more frequently. Give it a chance and be more helpful with your impressions. Just because something may sound "ghetto", doesn't mean it is. Do your research and form an educated opinion.
The name "Charnette" belongs to the language family of the Afro-Asiatic, which trickles down to Semitic, then Central Semitic, and eventually coming down to Hebrew. This makes its origin Hebrew. The native name root of Charnette is Shârôn (שָׁרוֹן), which goes to Sharon in more common terminology. This makes Charnette the blended name of Sharn, Sharna, and Sharne in addition to having the French sound suffix ett/ette. Sharn and its variants are forms of the name Sharon. The aforementioned name derives from the Hebrew place name “Shârôn", or Sharon, meaning “a plain, forest” and is in reference to a fertile plain near the coast of Israel.The usage of this name is typically found in English (African-American), but also in standard English and Hebrew as other variants of the name. English (African-American) variants of this name include Sharnell, Sharnelle, Charnelle, Charnel, Sharnette, Shernett, among others. In English, Sharon, Sharron, and Sharyn are common versions of the name. In Hebrew, Sharon is a commonly used name. I hope this helps clear up some rather ghastly impressions of this name! It truly is amazing what you find when you do research first, instead of immediately bashing something for sounding different.
It sounds like an invented elaboration of Charles to me.

I've got a tip for you, folks: if you want a sophisticated, elegant name for your daughter, don't try to make one up. You can't. Just go for the ones that already exist and try something that doesn't sound like a brand name. Now there.
