[Opinions] Tangerine?
I'm not quite sure, but I love the word Tangerine and always thought it would make a nice name for a daughter. Although I don't like how the word "anger" is in it, and if she hated it I suppose I could call her Ann, or Annie. Thoughts?

sounds too much like a fruit but you do have a point about the anger thing...you should just call her annie or something like that...sorry about the criticism

I love this! It's been my little pleasure- imagining having a little girl Angie. And when people say, "Oh... she's an angel- that's surely why you named her Angela, right?" And I can proudly say, "Oh no, Angie is short for Tangerine." I guess it's a bit odd... but I am an odd person."If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

It's oaky. There's a nice Led Zeppeline song called Tangerine, and if your daughter grew up to be a Charlie Kaufmann fan she'd be in for a treat... I like Tangy better than Ann or Angie as a nn, and I can see Geri working, too.~ Arcadia

if you have to use it, you could get away with it as a mn, but as a fn it would be hard to live with. however Tanna could be a nn if you choose to use it.

I personally don't like word-names. But Angie seems like the obvious nn to me.

Maybe for a pet. Not for a kid.

I think it is an awesome name for a goldfish, maybe not daughter. Ann is kinda boring.

eew no way. I do like nature / word names but Tangerine just screams orange to me. Clementine is similar in fruitness but not as obviously. ~Kai

That reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The woman's name was Clementine but her nn was Tangerine.
