Angelina - I didn't get many responses and am still debating

reminds me too much of Angelina Jolie - which isn't a good thing

ballerina

Very 'of its time' because of the popularity of Angelina Jolie.

And you will get Angie, so you need to decide whether you like it shortened.

a pretty name, but ballerina and Jolie sprang to my mind too.

don't mind either connotation ( a legendary beauty and a ballerina LOL) at all - it is a family name and goes v well with my surname I just wondered if people thought it was pretty and feminine like I do....

Okaaaaaaay...you think it is pretty and feminine, you aren't put off by the obvious connotations, it's a family name, goes well with surname...

Surely the real question is not whether we like it, but whether your partner likes it!!

Not for me, sorry.

Are you debating between this and something else?

Sounds like you really like it, and it has a family background which is really nice .. IMO you should def. use it.

It is femimine and pretty

thanks all, DH loves it I guess I have made up my mind LOL

I just wondered if anyone thought it was really horrid and a no-no in whish case I would perhaps re-consider
xx

Oh I certainly wouldn't say it was really horrid, even though it's not to my taste.

The name itself is alright, it's just I can't stand Angelina Jolie. So I would never use it myself.

wow the angelina jolie connection is v strong!

Too many syllables. Bound to get shortened - I suppose you could try to make it Lina rather than Angie.

Yuck!

Thought of Ballerina first and then the slut who stole poor Jen's husband!

I don't like it at all sorry - too many mouse connections for my liking. And not a v pretty name anyway - does DH love it BECAUSE of the Angelina Jolie connection?!!!

twinkie that is lovely thank you.

You want to hope that she doesn't look at all mousey too!

oh you get better my sides are splitting - any more?

LOVE your name though, Crushwitheyeliner. It makes you sound like a fab 1980s girlband. Very cool indeed.

mousy looking kids...hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I love it, and would happily name a child of mine after a beautiful (if slightly mad) woman and a dancing mouse! Mine are named after a river (or airport) and the drunken wife of a Welsh poet, but I love the names and that is what matters.

thanks rach

It is a pretty name but I would be uneasy about people thinking it was a tribute to La Jolie who I find slightly nauseating.

Just use it if you and your DH love it...

No point in getting shirty when posters are honest!

I don't like it at all. It's too much, it's got a a hint of star-struckedness about it.

Twinkie1, ha ha! She maybe helping starvign children in Africa, but that's more or less how I'll always see her too.

Angel, although a boy's name, would be less saccharine imo.

If you like Angelina Ballerina names, what about Alice!
