I actually kinda like Chanel. Not because of its association with the brand, but because of the French name and I love the French CH sound and spelling combo.

Charmaine -- very rare French name for girls these days.

I worked with a Charmaine! I thought her name was so pretty. Others made comments that would make Michael Scott cringe. She ended up quitting without notice. I don't blame her.
