Help[Opinions] Re: Angel for a girl
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I think it's tacky. When you think of angels you always imagine such perfect creatures, beautiful and sweet with blond curly hair and big blue eyes. I mean yes, there were bad angels but people don't think of them, they think of those heavenly creatures that are pictured on postcards and all kinds of stuff, especially during the Christmas season.
Maybe your daughter won't live up to that image (no offense but this could happen to anyone) and she'll be a tomboy or more of a rough or wild little girl, maybe she won't be pretty or she'll be overweight, I mean it could happen. And then she'd be stuck with that name and it would seem ridiculous on her. People would probably make fun of her. I wouldn't recommend Angel, along with similar names such as Charisma (I actually know a girl named Angel Charisma).
It's also a pet name, I know several guys who name their girlfriends angel, which could be weird for her.
Angel does have a pretty and soft sound and I would definitely consider it if it weren't a word that means, well... what it means.
I would suggest you look at similar names such as Angeline. They don't carry that heavy image.
