what's in a name

I think names are really important. Plus, they're fun to make up! Names are different for each and every person. Even if that isn't true, there's still your sirname and your chinese name! Like Elias (the one in our class) has the same name as my cousin! Even their sirnames are the same! Elias Tan! Their chinese names are different though. Many people have asked me why I am called Chantalle. The truth is, I have absolutely no idea! My parents said it was a french name and the brand of a bag ( I think). That's not very nice. I don't think there's a meaning behind my name. Ha, and my name's not pronounced correctly but I'll just stick ot the current one! It's nicer anyway. I just noticed that i have the longest name in class! There are nine letters in my name!
C-H-A-N-T-A-L-L-E!
Princess Consuela sounds funny. Maybe because they didn't even know there was such a name! Plus, I am definetely not a princess. Mentos is such a weird name to call a child. There's no meaning behind it. Unless its an acronym or something! Could you imagine that one day if your child asked you why his/ her name was Mentos. Then what are you going to tell him/ her? Would you reply, "Oh, its because I couldn't think of any other name at that time." or "I named you that because I absolutely LOVE sweets and Mentos is my favorite!" Maybe they named the kid Mentos because they want people to think that the kid's a sweet person? I mean sweet as in nice okay! Not like a sweet person as in like a person who is CRAZY about sweets. Plus I don't mean nice as the no meaning one. That's the misconception that nice means NOTHING! Now that's gibberish.

Have we been pronouncing your name wrongly? How is it pronounced?
Some good thoughts, though.

Is it pronounced something like shan't tell?
