Would you like the name Aggelos for a baby boy?

Does it sound too foreign?

It is pronounced as “Agg - eh - los”

Sounds greek to me but as a name it's fine, if you are in London for instance you have a variety of names from all over the world

It sounds Greek to me, and I assume it is an actual name. There’s nothing wrong with a name sounding ‘foreign’ - this is a multicultural country where you would reasonably expect names which derive from a multitude of countries around the world, so not actually ‘foreign’ at all. If you’re worried about cultural appropriation. - well, do you or the father have any Greek heritage? What attracted you to the name?

I would expect a lifetime of people pronouncing it wrongly, but if you’re fine with that, then go for it.

I would definitely assume the person was of Greek origin.
It's not a horrible name but I prefer Angelo.

It's not a name I've ever heard before but if it's one you know and like then it's your choice.
