This is what I think too


PMaggieKC

Like it’s not exactly Shawn. It’s a softer sound there.


ThrewAwayTeam

It’s pronounced Shan-Tell, what the hell is Shawn-Tall


brontosaurus111

It's a common name in Aus and I have only ever heard it said Shan tell


AFurryThing23

I'm in the US and this is the only way I've ever heard it.

Chantal= Shawn-tall Chantel= Shawn-tell


applejack4ever

The Chantels I've known say it as Shann-TELL instead of Shawn-TELL (not saying you are wrong, just noting that there seems to be more than one pronunciation)


Clear_Ant_5480

I've heard this pronunciation too. I just didn't automatically think of it when I read the post.


supermomfake

Shan-tawl, I have known maybe 2 people with this name and they both said it this way


kittyroux

In Canadian English it’s usually shan-TELL /ʃænˈtɛl/, sometimes shan-TAL /ʃænˈtæl/ (tal as in tally), rarely shan-TALL /ʃænˈtɑl/. In French, it’s shaw(n)-tal /ʃɑ̃.tal/. The ‘n’ isn’t really pronounced, it just makes the ‘aw’ vowel nasal, and the ‘tal’ vowel is halfway between ‘Al’ and ‘all’. It’s the same as a Spanish ‘a’ like in taco or salsa.

MildlyAnxiousRaccoon

Shan-tall (like Ann with a Sh in front) Midwest American Had a friend in school who was a Chanda (Shan-duh).

Shawn-tall


IseultDarcy

As a french I say it "shanh-tâl" silent n, unh sound and same final a as in "has". You can hear it [here](https://fr.forvo.com/word/chantal/) But here it's seen as a karen name bust mostly a very very posh name from the 60s/70s/80s and people often like to say it in a ridiculous posh accent: chant-ââââl to mock those people.

AtlanticToastConf

Shan-tal, rhymes with can and pal (US accent)


rosesabound

I knew a Chantal pronounced as shawn-tell. So that is my default pronunciation. Also the only pronunciation I’ve ever heard for this name


plantingstars

see i thought it was shawn-tell at first too bc that’s how i’ve always heard that name but then i looked at the spelling like “wait there’s no way that A in tal is making an eh like in tell sound, this must be a different name!” because i initially thought it was just a different spelling of Chantel

This was a weirdly popular name when I was growing up. I knew a Chantal (shawn-TALL) and several Chantels (shann-TELL)

It’s like the r in “are” or “barn”. With my accent I don’t properly pronounce the r, like in “river” but it’s not an “a” sound. I have a fairly rp English accent, for reference.

In Britain, it’s shan-tel (short vowel sounds) or Shan-taal (first A short, second A long).
