Do you think this can be used as a girls middle name or, is it too sugary sweet? It is to honour a family member with a variation of the name Angel.

Lovely as a middle name

Nice as a middle name, a bit too “footballers wives” as a first name. Angelica and Angelina are lovely too.

Nice as a middle name as honouring someone else. Otherwise no.

Anything goes as a middle name really.

I like it as a middle name but not as a first name. Angelina would be nice too.

TotorosCatBus · 07/07/2021 12:12

I would pick a feminine version like Angela, Angelique, Angelie, Angelina as Angel is a male name.

it is honouring an Ángel, which is a common mens name... but was hopping it would make for an ok unisex option with out the Á...as I have also heard of a few non-binary people that are called Angel.

It's my daughters middle - she's 22 now and loves it and uses it together with her first name, Brontë

StarryStarrySocks · 07/07/2021 12:07

It's awful, sorry.

Yellowmoons · 07/07/2021 12:05

Fine as a middle name.

Isitpossi · 07/07/2021 12:03

I really love it

KirstenBlest · 07/07/2021 12:02

Awful. Angela or Angelina are fine. You are naming a person not a doll and Angel is a boy's name.

AuntieStella · 07/07/2021 11:26

It's a boys name across Latin America and many other Spanish and Portuguese speaking regions

I see it as strong and masculine, not sweet, but fine as a middle name

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 07/07/2021 11:26

Yes, it's really rather nice as a middle name imo.

Starryskiesinthesky · 07/07/2021 11:25

I like it!

Inthesameboatatmo · 07/07/2021 11:24

As a middle name it would be fine I think.
