I've always loved
Angelica. Happily for me I've never watched the cartoon where
Angelica is a negative character. So I'm free to enjoy the soft, melodious notes of
Angelica lingering in the air without an annoying pop culture reference ruining it.
Nicknames are never in your control, at least where I live. Perhaps you can when she's young. But once she hits the tween years it's all up to her -- wherever you are. She can always be
Angelica to you. I still call my niece
Maureen instead of
Mo. (I like the nn
Mo, but I love the name
Maureen.)
