I have been considering this for a dd should I have one! What do you think? Is it a chav ahem common name? It would be after a family member called Angelo ( please don't suggest Angela) so if I don't use Angel I will probably just use Angelo as a mn should I have a ds!

Angelita!

Otherwise all I think of is Buffy

No, it just sounds silly on anyone older than about 6 months.

It would be cruel.

Don't like it personally.

Angeline/a, Angelica, Angelique.

I used to work with someone called Angel. I thought it was a typo initially, but soon got used to it.
The main issue I would say might be that it's a fairly common Spanish boys name.

I personally wouldn't, it's a bit err silly.

I've only ever met one. She was at 6th form with me, nice girl. The teachers were forever getting confused and assuming someone had missed at "a" off the end or something though! I don't think you'd have that problem now that slightly "different" names are more common.
