I have only met one other person with a name that sounds like "Chandell" and she spells it differently. I suspect that less than twenty women in the USA have a name that is phonetically identical to this name. I love it. Everyone who hears my name usually comments immediately that it is new to them and beautiful.

Nicknames for Chandell

I've been called Shawn, Dell, Shawnny, Channy, Chan-dig, Chandellio, Chandelier, etc. But hardly more than once, on any of these. This name does not seem to lend itself to nicknaming.

I (being a different person than above) have been called; Candle, Chandelli, Chandelier, Delli, Chandi, and Jennifer which doesn't relate to my name at all, but that's what I've been called.

I have to say the the name chandell could be for either a male or female. In irish it is a Males name not a female. In irish it means light of life.

Rick Warren's Sister is named "Shondel" (this is my understanding) and after her I was named. My parents knew her in High School, and they thought she had a groovy name. (They failed to remember how she spelled it, however.)
