[Opinions] Re: Angel
in reply to a message by Billina
Just to point out -- Angel has been very popular for boys with Hispanic parents for over a decade now. It was the #1 name for Hispanic boys born in the state of Nebraska in 2014, for example. So for people who live in any area of the USA with a large Hispanic population: if you don't know any men named Angel now, you will soon.
And theologically speaking it is of course really odd that so many people see this name as being "feminine". Angels of course really have no gender, but the ones actual mentioned by name in the Bible (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel) have all been traditionally seen as masculine rather than feminine.
