HelpRe: Angelic and Hallelujah
in reply to a message by peregrine
Some people's reaction to these two names might be negative initially, but only because they seem so abnormal. However, after some thought, I think both of these could work serviceably as someone's first name.
Concerning the name "Angelic", it fits perfectly into the adjective name category, and for that reason alone it can be considered pretty normal. If a person seems angelic, their name can very well be Angelic. Nicknames would vary similarly to other "angel-" names, i.e., "Angie".
Hallelujah works as a name because it is a Hebrew interjection that roughly translates to "Praise God", and could fit right alongside any other popular Hebrew name. However, whether it is masculine or feminine, I'm not sure. You said the character in the TV show was a boy, but in my mind Hallelujah seems feminine (perhaps because it ends with '-ah'). Nicknames could be fun with this name; "Hallie" immediately comes to mind, or "Lu", or even "Lulu" for an even greater endearing tone. (if you prefer to think of Hallelujah as masculine, nicknames could include "Hal")
Overall, I think both would work as names despite their irregularity.
