What do you think? I think our favourite is Anglica, though I find myself warming more to Angela and I think it could be pretty and fresh? I wonder if Angela is still too outdated at the moment?

I find Angela very dated. I'm in my early 40s and it was very popular when I was at school and those that didn't have it as a first name picked it as a confirmation name Angelina is probably the one I like the most, actually I think it's quite nice.

Angela is unusual now. It reminds me of the 70s but for her generation it would be nice and less Jolie. Don't think its due a comeback for some time but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Angelica is the nasty older sister in Rugrats.

Strongly pro-Angela of the three. I agree with lighthouse it is very elegant. The other two I find very frilly/fussy. I also think the angel part of the name comes through much more strongly.

Angela, definitely. Angelina is a mouse in my world and Angelica is the mean cousin in rugrats. Although they could both be lovely names and I just watch too much children's TV

I don't like any of them, sorry

Angelica I think of pudding (for some reason....or very very posh frilly old women)

Angela I think is outdated and not in a nice way

Angelina I just think of ballerina

I don't like Angelica. It reminds me of the garish 1970's cake decoration.
