Awful.... just reminds me of the man eater herself!!!
Angela and the like are the generation of names my mother belongs to so not old enough to be coming back round yet!!

luckylady74 · 22/05/2008 19:18

It's a nice name - not keen on 'Ange' though and of course the ballerina thing will still be around for years.

CraigsWife · 22/05/2008 19:19

but I a not asking about Angela that is a completely different name

It's not so bad if you don't mind the irritating white mouse with the patronising voice on tv!

Hulababy · 22/05/2008 19:21

I don't like it personally.

Nancy66 · 22/05/2008 19:21

posieparker · 22/05/2008 19:22

southeastastra · 22/05/2008 19:31

here it is when i hear the name i just think of this song

cornsilk · 22/05/2008 19:32

How many syllables in your surname? If 1, yes. If 2, maybe. More than 2 - no.

CraigsWife · 22/05/2008 19:36

2 syllables - it goes rather well
I see there is a mixed feeling...like any name I guess

Look...It's just a normal name. Not tacky or ugly or made up. It's just that most people either think of a precocious little mouse or a beautiful woman who steals other women's husbands. If neither of these bother you then go for it.

I started a thread asking for opinions on Josephine and Jocelyn. DH really wants Jocelyn and is devastated that so many people seem to have an adverse reaction to it. But that's the nature of the beast. You ask opinions and people give them. Then you go for it anyway or change your mind.

PuppyMonkey · 22/05/2008 19:49

not keen. people will assume you admire angelina jolie. You don't do you?

CraigsWife · 22/05/2008 19:49

er I know that mrc that's what i am doing. Thanks for explaining how this baby names section works though...

CraigsWife · 22/05/2008 19:50

It's a family name - but i see that people will think of A Jolie, I see that now and it's fine.

SmoothandWilkie · 22/05/2008 19:51

Sidge · 22/05/2008 19:58

Not really keen.
