We really like Angelie/ Anjali, can you help?

So we love the name Anjali for a baby girl - we are Indian. I thought I should ask if the spelling Angelie could be an option? It makes the name a bit more international, I know Angelie is a real western name but I wonder if it comes across as silly or unsophisticated? Should we just stick to the traditional, Sanskrit Anjali?

I think Anjali is beautiful.

It's a spelling that is said how it is spelt too so shouldn't be any issues with that.

I have a fairly common me and am forever having to correct people spelling it so I wouldn't let that put you off.

Still to Anjali, it's beautiful

I'd stick with the original! It's pretty, and phonic enough for everyone to work out the first time of seeing it written.

I think Angelie will forever be spelling out her name. I've never heard it before - Angeline is more common.

But honestly I think Anjali is recognised enough and is lovely.
