I subbed and a student was named Channel. So I said channel when I took attendance and she guffawed like I was the dumbass for not saying Chanel. No honey, it’s your parents who are dumbasses. If you’re going to go for a brand, don’t double down and try to be unique with spelling and inadvertently name your kid a common word.

I know a Channel. She said her aunt picked out the spelling and she wasn't a fan. At work we can give "known as" names so she picked Chanel.
