HelpAngelina?
I'm beginning to really like this name. I do like very feminine names, but generally try to stay away from the Isabella/Ava/Emma trend. (My one guilty pleasure is Olivia, even though it's #4 in my state right now.) Opinions? Comments? Combos?
My favorite Angelina combo at the moment is Angelina Margot, but I also like Angelina Elise. Is it too girly? Also, I'm worried about it's popularity - it's #42 and rising. :(

I also love the name Angelina. I used to read the Angelina Ballerina books as a little girl, so that probably helped me to like the name. Unfortunately Angelina Jolie has somewhat put me off the name. I just find her to be a highly unusual person and I wouldn't want people to think I named my DD after her. I also wouldn't want people to say, "Oh, Angelina, like Angelina Jolie" all the time. That would annoy me!

I used to love Angelina but I have become rather tired of reading about Brangelina so while I still think it's pretty, I'd much rather see Angeline.
I like the flow of Angelina Margot better because Angelina Elise has the vowels running together too much for my tastes and because Angelina Margot just sounds better to me. I can't see Angelina rising into the top 10 (or even 20) but I have been known to be wrong on occasion. ;-)

No, it's not too girly. What bothers me is the "ng" sound - I just don't like it in names (Angel, Evangeline, Solange). Angelina Elise is pretty, but Angelina will never be a favorite of mine.

I really like it, but it isn't one I would use for family name reasons.

I've always really like Angelina but it too strongly connected to Angelina Jolie for me to ever consider using.

I used to dislike it because it seemed so singularly the name of Angelina Jolie. Then I heard the song Angelina Zooma-Zooma by Louis Prima and I've grown to really like it.

Angelina Elise is really pretty.
I think it's a great name, though I do worry about the Jolie connection. Honestly, though, there are worse connotations. If you like it, I wouldn't worry about it.

I think Angelina is a beautiful name.

As an Angela, I always thought it was too syrupy sweet and over-elaborate.
And Angelina Jolie doesn't make it more appealing to me. But I guess the general public sees it differently because the name is going up in popularity, and I cannot think of any other reason besides Jolie.

It's okay. I generally don't like any Angel- names, so I'm predisposed not to like it. I don't hate it, though. Angelina Margot has a nice sound to it, but I don't like Angelina Elise.

Angelina is pretty but I prefer Angeline. I like the sound of Angelina Margot, it's feminine but not too "frilly". I like the name Elise more than MArgot, but I don't like the same sound in the middle of both Ange-LEE-na and E-LEE-se.

Ruined by Jolie.
Sadly. Otherwise I might like the name.
ETA that I'm not sure about the repetative "E" sound in Angelina Elise, but Angelina Margot is a great combo.
And I'm with Crista, I prefer Angeline.

On the one hand my name is Jolie...
As a matter of fact, my name is not Jolie but Joanna. However, I consider it very nice as a nickname. Just like my mates. Consequently they call me Jolie.( a comment about Angelina Jolie because some people believe it's funny to call your child Beautiful, Honour, Charity, etc. )
