DH likes this for a girl, but I'm not sure.

Thoughts?

(p.s. DO NOT like Angela, although Angelica / Angelina = OK)

I think its quite pretty. Angelica reminds me of the bossy one from the Rug Rats

I like Angelique. Also like Angelina and Angelica. I think think Angie is a really cute nick name. Also like Evangeline.

All these names are v pretty.

Much prefer Angelina to the other two versions. They sound a little bit pretentious.

I dont like it, sorry. I think Annie is lovely for a girl

Yeh, I like Annie, too. Cute. But DH is into long winded, feminine names.

My fear was that Angelique was a bit poncy...

Angelina is lovely, but it's just too associated with Jolie for me. Ho hum. Back to the drawing board!

My friend's sister has that name and inevitably she is known as Ange or Angeeee! Not good imo.

I like Angelique though.

Sorry I hate the name.
I used to work with an Angelique and she was a complete bitch.

Everyone pronounced her name Angie-Leek too.

it's a bit 'diamonique'... kind of cheapens the name.

I have an Angelina, I think it's nicer...suppose I would though

I don't like this much. I agree Angel is a cool nn, but on balance, still no.

I'd choose another name, and let 'Angel' evolve as a some time nn.

lol@blinks. Yeh, that was one of my arguments against the name to DH. I don't want anything remotely 'ghetto'. No random '-iques' or '-ishas', please. It's a shame we aren't French. It sounds so lovely said in a thick Parisian accent Unfortunately we are both Londoners...

Ah well - back to the drawing board.
