I voted for Angelina, simply because to me, angelica is flavourless green stuff for putting on iced cakes.

---

If your other option had been Angelique, things would have been different. I prefer it to Angelina, partly I think because it's shorter and gives a more energetic, less languid impression.

---

But if I had to choose an angel name, I'd go with good old vanilla Angela. I once knew an Angela who went by Jill, which cheered me up greatly.

Angelina.Although I like Angeline a bit better.

Angelica is fine but I like Angelina more as that sounds more innocent and softer and prettier. Angelica always makes me think of some rude, bossy person. I'm sure I can thank Angelica pickles for that. Haha. Still to this day I often associate Angelica with that cartoon.

I grew up right in the peak of the Rugrats popularity so Angelica reminds me way too much of a little brat. I also don't like the prominence of 'angelic' in the name...it's just too much for me.

---

Angelina is probably my favorite Ang- name. I don't like that group of names at all really but the 'lina' softens the ugliness of the 'Ang' syllable.

I prefer Angelica, because I tend to like the "ic" sound in names (Erika, Cedric, Veronica, Icarus), and I like that it's a plant name.

Angelica.

Angelina just seems whiny to me.

I love the name Angelica, for a long while in my youth I both loved and disliked it probably because I used to strongly associate it with some of the characters Anjelica Huston would play and the cartoon character Angelica Pickles from The Rugrats which gave it a harsh snooty vibe. I've always loved that it is the name of the herb and since I more strongly associate it now with the spice I love it. Plus Anjelica Huston is a great actress.

---

Angelina feels more girly than Angelica plus I prefer Adelina to Angelina. Also Angelina is more common than Angelica or Adelina. I do like Angelina since it is the name of my sweet and spunky youngest cousin whose nn is Lina not Angie because her mom hates Angie.

---

My only issue with Angelica is that the only nn's are Ang, Angie, Ann, Anna, and Annie while Angelina gets the pretty nn Lina.

I think I like Angelina a bit better. Something about the emphasis on the second syllable in Angelica does not appeal to me.

I prefer Angelica over Angelina.

---

However, I prefer Angeline over Angelica, if that matters.

Hmm. Probably Angelina, because I'm hearing the jelly in Angelica and seeing 'angelic'

Angelina Jolie isn't a good association for me. She is probably nice and a good actress but there is something so cold about her. Strangely enough Angelina seems like a very warm name to me whereas Angelica seems harsh and cold. Angelica would fit her better :P

---

I prefer Angelina. There is something warm, soft and sunny about it. Angelica is so dark.

Angelica is just too tacky and overdone. The Rugrats character was well-named.

Angelica!!!

Hi !!!

---

Angelica is one of my favourite names!!

---

I love it because of its meaning! Its sound is wonderful!

---

It also has an aristocratic sound imo and finally a floreal meaning as well!

Angelina! I've never liked Angelica, it just sounds so snobbish and I really dislike the -ica sound! Angelina is such a beautiful name! So feminine yet so strong. ❤

I don't like either of them, but I'd go for Angelica which at least is a nice solid botanical name rather than over fancified Angelina
