A vampire. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Not for a child.

insancerre · 15/06/2017 19:39

I know an Angel
She is anything but

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/06/2017 19:39

Love it

WhenLoveAndCakeCollide · 15/06/2017 19:41

Lovely on an Hispanic boy (where it's pronounced with a hard g, so a bit like angle).

Cutesy and twee on a girl.

There was a character on Byker Grove called Angel!

I'm not keen, sorry! Could you name your daughter something different but call her Angel as a pet name at home instead?

It would be a bit weird to be screeching ^"ANGELLLLL!!" across the park when you are losing the plot Grin

PFB??

No.

Reow · 15/06/2017 19:44

Loved him in Buffy. Had a poster of him on my ceiling as a teenager.

As a baby name, no.

Asmoto · 15/06/2017 19:44

If unsure, would you consider Angela, with Angel as a nickname?

GissASquizz · 15/06/2017 19:44

Not a fan.

DancingLedge · 15/06/2017 19:45

Sweet for at least 4 months.

Don't lumber a child with this

tissuesosoft · 15/06/2017 19:45

Please don't.

RusholmeRuffian · 15/06/2017 19:48

No!

LarrytheCucumber · 15/06/2017 19:50

DS was at school with an Angel. Angel she ain't.

Bobbiepin · 15/06/2017 19:50

@insancerre me too! I'm not a fan of giving children names that hint at personality (Patience etc)

Nonameyet1 · 15/06/2017 21:08

Nope! Not even sure if I like it as a nn!

disneykid · 15/06/2017 21:09

Please don't put them through this!

rubylouu · 15/06/2017 21:17

Does anyone have any similar name suggestions! Grin not a fan of Angela, angelica etc, I totally understand the reasons people have against it.
