I’m afraid it’s seen as a girls name in the U.K. so you’d be setting your son up for a lifetime of confusion with new people and potentially bullying.

Personally I wouldn’t use it for a girl either.

There are two Angels in my school both girls.
With any name you need to imagine them at any age and would they like it then. I’m so used to unusual names now nothing surprises me. What about as a middle name?

No.

Imagine shouting it in a playground when he’s misbehaving!

Where my maternal family are from it’s quite normal, but obviously in the native language, not English

I still really like it tbh

He’ll be bullied, don’t do it.

Just no

It’s a name I’ve always loved but DH worried it might be a bit chavvy (it’s not where I come from)
