I really like Agathangelos, but then I am a huge sucker for Greek names, especially ones you don't see so often. Shalimar is nice as well.

Ooh, I love Agathangelos! I always thought it was a female name (though with the -os ending, that doesn't quite make sense). Shalimar is neat, but it would be tough to get people (English-speaking Americans) to emphasize the second syllable.

Not very good ideas. First of all Agathangelos is a mouthful and a half, and has such a strong connection to Agatha and Angela that there will be snickers all around.Shalimar is a perfume, allegdly popular with old ladies. Also, back in the eighties there was a group called Shalimar, with Jody Watley as vocalist. Their main hit was "Dancing in the Sheets."
