If next baby is dd would like to call her Angela grandmother. I like the name, but can't imagine a little girl called Angie/Ange.

Any suggestions would be great x

I think Angie is quite cute for a little girl! I imagine her with red, curly hair :).

Anyway, other nicknames:

Angel
Ella

RobinSparkles · 24/05/2014 17:40

Annie?

I know a little Angelie, which is really sweet I think.

Annie
Jelly
Ela

My daughter may not be the only Ela (although hers is short for Gabriela)

florascotia · 24/05/2014 18:21

Ela can also be short for Elzbieta (= Polish version of Elizabeth)

Short names for Angela:

Anya/Anja
Gela (Jay-lah)

There is also Angelika/Angelica

It will be Ange or Angie.

Personally I think Angie is better than any of the other suggestions.

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/05/2014 18:45

Ange,Angie or only slightly possibly Annie.

My aunt Angela has always been known as Gigi as this is what her brother shortened it to as a child.

DD1 (5yo) is Angie.

I love it Grin

squoosh · 24/05/2014 21:46

I know a student called Anjali, who gets called Anj, pronounced like Ange. I always imagined it would sound dated but it doesn't, it's lovely and quite "sassy" as squoosh said.

I know an Angelina who goes by Angie and I always think it sounds very cool whenever I say/hear it!

saffronwblue · 25/05/2014 00:07

I was at school with an Angela known as Pangie.

SpringBee · 25/05/2014 12:11

I think angie is cute :) I watched a tv series where there was a little girl called angelica ( and no it wasn't rugrats!) but I always thought It was lovely and they called her angie
