Is Chanel a white girls name?

Question

not to be racist..but i dont think ive ever heard a caucasian girl named chanel..only african american...i love the name but is it a white girls name?

Answer 1

i love that name! Its defiantely not a uni-race name (if that makes sense!)

Answer 2

I don't think it really matters, honestly. It's a very nice name for any little girl.

The only time ethnic names seem a little uncomfortable or ridiculous to me is when it's a VERY traditional ethnic name on someone who is obviously not that ethnicity - like a blond Caucasian girl named Chizuko (Japanese). Then I find it cringe-worthy - but still the parents' choice.

If you really like the name, go with it, it doesn't matter if it's ethnically matched.

Answer 3

It is both white and black girls name

Answer 4

Yes I think it would fit a while girl as well as a black girl.*

Answer 5

Its an any girls name. I've known a white girl and a black girl with the name.  Cocoa Chanel was white lady.

Answer 6

Well, Coco Chanel was French.

I think Chanel is a beautiful name! And a cool brand too LOL.

Chanel works for all ethnic backgrounds.

Answer 7

there is no color is a name.

if u like it then use it !

simple as that!

Answer 8

there is a reality star over here in the UK called Chanel but its spelt Chanelle, she is white.

Answer 9

My mom would have named my brother Chanel if he was a girl, and our family is Caucasian. I don't think it matters...if you like the name, go for it...I don't see what all the hub bub is about the whole black name/white name anyway!

Answer 10

well like obama there are many half black and half white people so the names now over lap.what one might think is strictly a black name or a white name just does not exist in reality any more.

our people are a very blended nation so our names are too,i hope this answered your question!

Answer 11

haha! I went to high school with a girl named Chanel, except she spelled it Chanelle, and she was white (like everybody in my little redneck town, lol!!!) blonde hair, blue eyes, size 0 jeans, the whole works, so yes, I think it can be a white girl's name too.

just my two cents ;)
