HelpRe: Angelica
in reply to a message by Azula
Over-ornate and over-sweet, like the green cake decoration. The only Angel- name I enjoy is Angela, and even that doesn't count as a favourite.
Angelica Irene is too much. First the angel, then the peace. Heavy-handed, like an attempt by the teenage authors who sometimes post, asking if we think that a suitable name for a naive, beautiful heroine would be Daisy Innocentia or Innocentia Daisy.

I didn’t even know Irene meant peace, Angelica Irene was actually a name I made in a CAF and wrote down because I liked it.
My problem with all the Angel- names is the possibility of the nickname “Angie” which I loathe.

I keep forgetting about Angela ...
It's a nice enough name, nothing wrong with it, except it's so forgettable. I like it better than I like fellow forgettables Sarah and Jennifer, but still. I think if I had to find a name that was similar in forgettableness and vibe, it would be Grace, which I also like but feel like it's just blah; it once had a very special meaning, but now so many have used it for that reason that the shiny is worn away.

This reminds me of a section in Stephen King's autobiography. He talks about his character, an innocent man on trial for murder, having the initials JC, and how critics complained that that was too obvious. I'm unsure what my opinion on the matter is.
I'm not keen on the flow of Angelica Irene and I'm not a fan of either name, really. But most non-name-nerds wouldn't get the heavy-handedness, IMO.
Also, Innocentia Daisy... yeah, I would put the book down.
