I've never liked Angela - it sounds too dated to me. I hadn't heard of Aniela until now but I much prefer it. It eliminates the 'j' sound that I find unpleasant in Angela and seems younger and fresher. Anielka is an adorable diminutive. I'd probably pair Aniela with another Polish name...

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
