*These are just my personal impressions of these names. I really do not intend to offend / criticize.
-I’m not a big fan of
Angelina. It’s so feminine that it seems prissy to me, and a bit over the top.
-I definitely prefer
Angela. The two names have totally different feels.
Angela is a strong, no-nonsense woman who can handle her business.
Angelina comes from a wealthy family and feels that ordinary work is beneath her.
-Yes, I think of
Angelina Jolie (that’s not a bad thing)
-No, it doesn’t seem dated to me, but
Angela kind of does.
Angelina was never really popular and so is a bit more timeless.
