[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't read all replies etc but saw the Chanel name, and that you were going for Nelly. Just want to say (and again, I apologize if this has already been said) If you add a "t" (and move the e to an a) it's Chantal, which is a beautiful French name. [b]Not as much of a stretch as Nelly[/b].[/quote] But they're not changing the name. They're using Nelly as a nickname for Chanel (take the second syllable and make it a nickname). This is not that different from using Bert as a nickname for Albert, using Shelley as a nickname for Michelle, using Beth as a nickname for Elizabeth, etc. As for Champaigne, she's old enough to talk to and say that "Champaigne is a long name, would you like something shorter? We think it will be easier. We like the nickname Payne" or see if she has an idea. If not, I love that the parents have decided to own the name. That's a great start to forging a good relationship with their daughter.[/quote]
