[Opinions] Re: Angel
Ha. Angel. I actually like it as a male's name. Probably due to growing up with Buffy the Vampire Slayer--even though I didn't like the character Angel. Ah well. I think it's cool on a guy but I would never name my son that.I've known a few female Angels and they have been unremarkable. When I was young I loved the twinset Angel and Star. Yeah, I was young. Now I feel Angel has a tacky and simplistic feel to it even though I still kinda sorta maybe like it. I can never decide. I'm sure if I met an Angel I liked I would really warm up to it. That said, I like the way it looks and it has a pleasant sound. Angels can be nice but there are plenty of warrior angels as well. And Satan was an angel so there you go.I had a boss named Priscilla. Previously I liked the name for frilly reasons. I would never use it, not even in a story, but I didn't completely hate it. After meeting her, I've grown to really like it. She was so sweet, warm, and motherly but had this totally snarky mouthy side and it was great. It really made me see the dimensions that Priscilla could provide. The Presley connotation is hard for me to overcome. I like alliteration.
