What are your opinions on this name?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Awful.
And it'll sound even worse when she's an adult.

thewideeyedpea · 15/06/2017 22:14

Just no.

I had a male employee named Angel so it doesn't phase me. He was from Chicago and of Puerto Rican heritage.

The DC have a friend named Angeliese pronounced 'Angelus' with the nickname 'Angel'.

It isn't twee or a stripper name at all for those used to Spanish/South American names, which clearly many people on Mumsnet are not.

Ariel is also male.

Marcipex · 15/06/2017 22:00

Angelica?

Calyrical · 15/06/2017 21:52

I knew an Angel.

Everybody spelled it Angle.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 15/06/2017 21:51

Sophronia · 15/06/2017 21:49

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/06/2017 21:25

I've taught an Angel and an Angle. Both pronounced the same: 👼

BrexitSucks · 15/06/2017 21:23

Teen DD has a mate with this name (male person). He manages.

UrsulaPandress · 15/06/2017 21:21

Angel for a boy. Yes. Angel Clare from Tess.

Please don't put them through this!

Nonameyet1 · 15/06/2017 21:08

Nope! Not even sure if I like it as a nn!

Bobbiepin · 15/06/2017 19:50

@insancerre me too! I'm not a fan of giving children names that hint at personality (Patience etc)

LarrytheCucumber · 15/06/2017 19:50

DS was at school with an Angel. Angel she ain't.

RusholmeRuffian · 15/06/2017 19:48
