I like this name for both genders equally. I probably wouldn't use it on a boy though. What are some MN's that go good with Angel or FN's that go good with Angel on a girl?

I know some people think that naming a child something like this would automatically say that they will be the opposite of their name. Personally I doubt that. I like angels a lot, I think it's a pretty name. Yes some consider it 'trashy', and 'trendy' I understand that. I do like it though so any suggestions? :)

I love this name on a boy. It makes me think of an intelligent, handsome Hispanic boy. On a girl, though, it seems just tacky and cheesy to me. I don't mind it as a NN for something like Evangeline or Angelina, but I detest it on its own.

The only 2 girls that I know named Angel were both pregnant at 16 yrs. old. Sorry, but that falls into the 'opposite of the name' category for me.

I went to school with a lady named Angel and she was the sweetest thing ever. She has a little girl named Paloma (which I think fits perfect). I think both names are great.

i prefer this on a boy, this is because i know an Angel and i just associate that name with him so i think it would b weird on a girl. before i met him i preferred it on a girl tho lol.
