I know someone called Anjalika - pronounced Anja Leeka - which I think is lovely.

pamelat · 31/08/2008 17:57

I think its very pretty.
DH hated it though

I like Angelica, it is very pretty.

My daughter was born sleeping and her name is a variant of this. Personally i like that as she is an Angel her name reflects this and think that maybe names that contain the word Angel should be reserved for Angel Babies. (Hope this doesn't offend)If she had of been born alive her name would not be what it is. We chose it because she was an Angel.

I think Angelica is lovely, but I don't really like Angie for short.

CuckooSplodgeandTubs · 28/08/2008 15:49

Also prefer Angelina, although, I wouldn't realy say I love that either.

I have an Angelina - a family name so no deference to Jolie

DaddyJ · 28/08/2008 15:07

Nice name!

I like Angelina, too, but the sleb connotations
would put me off.

MrsMattie · 28/08/2008 15:00

I like Angelica.

CrushWithEyeliner · 28/08/2008 13:09

I like the An ge (as it get-up) lica

frazzledoldbag34 · 28/08/2008 13:03

I think Angelica is pretty.
Like it

Rugrats here for me too - and it'll get Angel as a nickname which is just too sickly and girly for me.

serenity · 26/08/2008 01:11

My (sort of) niece (maybe cousin in law - not sure, it's one of those Greek extended family things) is called Angelica, I think it's nice

3andnomore · 26/08/2008 00:07

Hm...Angelica will always remind me of Angelica Pickles, the spoilt bratty girl from Rugrats, sorry....

jamescagney · 25/08/2008 14:55

and that it why you'll never see me on "Gardener's World"! thanks, Bronze

Jackstini · 25/08/2008 14:27

I quite like it - unusual but not too much and scope for nicknames

lojoesmammy · 25/08/2008 14:13

I know an Angelica - she is called Jelly as her nick name and is scrummy.

jamescagney · 25/08/2008 14:04

sorry gardening don't mean to be rude but isn't it a food decoration?
Also my sister told me (when I was seven) it was the posh word for snot!
Also Angelica Huston as Morticia in the Addams Family...

that's what came into my mind. sorry.
