Help[Opinions] Re: Angel or Harmony for a boy
in reply to a message by aprilshowers
Angel on a guy, I read as Hispanic, Ángel (An-khel).
The English word Angel as a name, seems about as feminine as Jewel, in my mind. I mean, it could be a guy name, but I don't expect it, and wouldn't like it. I associate it with the Angel-names for gals - Angela, Angelina, Angelique etc. I don't really like the sound of "angel" as a name. It sounds like an endearment or ... be an angel and do the dishes tonight, would you? Also reminds me of the way people sometimes refer to someone who died as a child or infant.
Harmony works for a guy, I think. It's kind of a California hippie vibe, to me - like Cedar or Sequoia or Brook, usually it's a gal but it wouldn't be that weird if it were a guy.
