Angelica > Angela > Angelina > Evangeline > Angel > Angeline > Angelique

Angelica, easily!

---

Angel on a boy is really chic.

I love Angelica. It's mature and sophisticated.

---

Order of preference (with other variants I like):

---

Angelica > Angelique > Ángeles > Evangeline > Évangélique > Angelina > Angélie > Angela > Angelia > Angeline > Angel (only like it for a boy)

Angelique just left the top 1,000 and I'm a little sad! It was growing on me.

---

My absolute top favorite is Evangeline. I like Angelica and Angelina. I am not a fan of Angel, Angela, or Angeline.

From your list probably Angelica. But overall I like the feminine Arcangela and the masculine author invented name Anhelli(which is clearly based on Angel).

From best to worst:

---

Angelica
Angelique
Angeline
Angelina
Angela
Angel
Evangeline

---

I find Angel too abrupt, and Angela is still too blunt and boring for me. Angelina is ok, although it's a little too sickly sweet for my current taste. Angeline is nice but I don't find it spectacular.

---

Angelique feels dated in a fun way, and it's kind of loud and brassy, so I do enjoy that.

---

I used to like Evangeline the most, but now I think it sounds preachy and cruel, so I like it the least. Gives me the shivers.

---

Angelica is very nice; I like that it's also a botanical word name, and the name of an artist I admired when I was young, Angelica Kauffmann. I think Angelica is my favourite for those reasons.

I think a more important question is, if you are an angel and go to heaven where having a name like Angelica is considered awkward, what would you change it to? It would be like having the name Earthling or Human on Earth.

Evangeline. For a middle name I'd choose Noelle.

I like Angela the most and second to that Angeline (long ee sound). I've come across many named Angelina and only a few Angelica or Angela, and not many others from this list that I remember.

I am of an age where my immediate association with Angelica is from Rugrats, which is not a great association. A shame because I think I'd like it more otherwise.

---

None of these names are big favorites, but Angela in particular is not objectionable. Angelina isn't bad. Angeline and Angelique are not my kind of name, but they're find. I really dislike Evangeline.

---

Angel is easily the worst of these, though.

Anhelina, nickname Helya
