Angelica (m)
in reply to a message by mirfak
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.
