What do you think, for a girl??

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
seeker · 12/02/2013 16:25

Nope.

IslaValargeone · 12/02/2013 16:26

I think not.

LadyMargolotta · 12/02/2013 16:26

You've forgotton the 'a' at the end.

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 12/02/2013 16:27

I don't like it. I like Angelica though.

badtime · 12/02/2013 16:28

I would put it in the same group of names as Nevaeh or Princess.

That is not a good thing.

(It is fine for a boy with a Spanish/Latino background)

sooperdooper · 12/02/2013 16:44

No, I wouldn't, there's something about this kind of name that's quite demeaning

I agree Angelica could be a good compromise tho, and then it could be a nn if you wanted

ladymia · 12/02/2013 16:53

Really dislike it

FooffyShmoo · 12/02/2013 16:56

One of my DDs best friends is called Angel.

Saying that, no, not keen.

keely79 · 12/02/2013 17:00

Nope. I apply the High Court Judge test - could you imagine your daughter being a high court judge (or the prime minister, or something equally important) with that name.

Angel fails for me on that one.

TennisFan42 · 12/02/2013 17:25

Horrible

IslaValargeone · 12/02/2013 17:30

Conversely you could do the dancer at Spearmint Rhino test..

Wewereherefirst · 12/02/2013 17:32

Angel is a boys name IMO.

ZenNudist · 12/02/2013 17:33

Terrible name.

Anyone remember a character on home & away called Angel? Played by Melissa George before she got famous. Blush

GetOrf · 12/02/2013 17:35

I always think of' it as a boy's name, based on Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jilly Cooper's Polo. Grin

No, anyway.

Rhubarbgarden · 12/02/2013 17:35

Terrible.

gillian88 · 12/02/2013 17:37

I'm afraid I don't like it either!

BabyRoger · 12/02/2013 17:39

Not keen but angelica is lovely.

What badtime said.

MrsApplepants · 12/02/2013 20:05

No it's a boy's name. And also a stripper's name. Sorry.

Snusmumriken · 12/02/2013 20:10

It would be a great name for a male vampire.

Snusmumriken · 12/02/2013 20:11

A buffy the vampire slayer ref.....for those out of the loop.

CPtart · 12/02/2013 20:17

Sluttish!

LynetteScavo · 12/02/2013 20:17

I know some middle class hippies who called their DD Angel. They pronounce it with a French accent. I am not making this up.

Sashapineapple · 12/02/2013 20:24

No. I think it sounds a bit cheap and chavvy in English. It does sound nice as a Spanish boys name.
