sounds like a foreign lady boy

If she likes it, that's the main thing.

Are you garnering opinion her for her, or do you not like it?

She's asking for opinions on it - sat next to me

I don't like Angel.

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 27/04/2009 14:00

I think Scarlett and Angel are nice names but not together.

belgo · 27/04/2009 14:01

agree with Kidcreole. I would go for a more normal second name. Scarlet Angel together is just too much.

Lizzylou · 27/04/2009 14:03

I think it does sound a bit Glamour girl/even porn star tbh.
I like both names, but not together.

RachieB · 27/04/2009 15:00

I agree

Scarlett is fine but not teamed with Angel!

rubyslippers · 27/04/2009 15:01

Scarlett is fine - i know a couple

Angel is eugh - too hard to live up to and just a bit icky

em22 · 27/04/2009 15:18

My couisn is called Scarlett Angel and it suits her but in my opinion Scarlett with a more normal middle name is better.

squeaver · 27/04/2009 17:51

Sounds like a nickname on a Goth forum

ThePhantomPooer · 27/04/2009 18:36

Angel is a ridiculous name.

Scarlett is fine.

MIAonline · 27/04/2009 18:40

Hope you warned your friend about the perils of MN baby name threads

Love Scarlett but not with Angel.

Kimi · 27/04/2009 18:45

Sorry agree that Angel is not good with Scarlett.

piscesmoon · 27/04/2009 18:46

Unfair on the DC! I don't like Scarlett but it is perfectly reasonable-Angel isn't!

SoupDragon · 27/04/2009 18:48

No, no and no again.

Did I mention "No"?

Claire2009 · 27/04/2009 18:48

I did tell her
Thankyou for the opinions! I've told her & I am pretty sure she's still going to go with Angel

I personally feel Scarlett is enough on its own without the ridiculous 'Angel' but hey ho!..

But Angel is a boys name . . . Tess of the D'Urbervilles & all that . . .

I reckon Miguel Angel, yes, Scarlett Angel, no more reasonable than Scarlett Tony. Would have to be Scarlett Angela, surely .

paolosgirl · 27/04/2009 19:30

Does she want her daughter to have a career as a lapdancer? If so, go with Scarlett Angel. If not, be a good friend and tell her not to be so daft.

pointydog · 27/04/2009 19:37

ach, it's ok. It's none of your business to tell your friend that you don't like her child's name. I would never ever do that.
