sorry gardening don't mean to be rude but isn't it a food decoration?
Also my sister told me (when I was seven) it was the posh word for snot!
Also Angelica Huston as Morticia in the Addams Family...

that's what came into my mind. sorry.

I quite like it - unusual but not too much and scope for nicknames

Hm...Angelica will always remind me of Angelica Pickles, the spoilt bratty girl from Rugrats, sorry....

My (sort of) niece (maybe cousin in law - not sure, it's one of those Greek extended family things) is called Angelica, I think it's nice

Rugrats here for me too - and it'll get Angel as a nickname which is just too sickly and girly for me.

Nice name!

I like Angelina, too, but the sleb connotations
would put me off.

I have an Angelina - a family name so no deference to Jolie

Also prefer Angelina, although, I wouldn't realy say I love that either.

I think Angelica is lovely, but I don't really like Angie for short.

I like Angelica, it is very pretty.

My daughter was born sleeping and her name is a variant of this. Personally i like that as she is an Angel her name reflects this and think that maybe names that contain the word Angel should be reserved for Angel Babies. (Hope this doesn't offend)If she had of been born alive her name would not be what it is. We chose it because she was an Angel.
