"Nur Angelica binti Farhan" does sound endearing to my ears, at least, because it means "The light of an angel-like daughter of happiness" ♥️.

I like it. Makes me think of a strong and intelligent woman, although that's most likely because my answer is influenced by Hamilton lol.
The people that immediately come to mind when I hear this name are Angelica Schuyler Church and Angelica Panganiban (a Filipino actress).

Angelica is pronounced "ahn-hel-ee-ka" by my hispanic family and "an-jel-ih-cuhh" by every other person. Anjelica, Anjelika, Angelika, Angelina, are all subpar variations. Of course, no hate to those with those names. Bet y'all are lovely. Or maybe not lovely. I'll never know. I used to get bombarded by people saying "Angelica, Eliiiza and Peggy!" to me all the time due to the Hamilton play.

I have heard every conceivable pronunciation and mispronunciation of my given name throughout my life. I haven't seen the Spanish pronunciation ahn-HEL-ee-kah mentioned here, however, but I think it's the prettiest. As an Angélica, though, I may be a little biased.
Fun fact: My dad named me after Tejano singer Angélica María!

I love it! I prefer the Italian pronunciation. I would totally use it for a girl! It is so angelic and pretty, I prefer it to Angelina, but I prefer the way Italians pronounce it: An-JEHL-ee-ka. I don't like the English pronunciation: An-JEHL-i-ka.

I've never seen The Rugrats, so I don't associate Angelica's name with that series. I think, as the name says, it is feminine, angelic and delicate, and you can get good nicknames from this name, like Annie, Angie, Jellie, Gigi, Ange, Angela, Angel, Ellie or Lili. If you don't like Angelica, you can also find other versions like Angelina, Angelique or Angela. Charming.

I have loved Angelica since I was a child and it is still on my list of names for a possible future daughter.
I love its soft sound, the immediate meaning (at least in Italian) and the fact that it is also a plant.

I like this name a lot and contrary to what has been commented below, the association that is implied by some to remind them of an animated character from so long ago is just silly. I think this name is quite lovely and I have met many bearers of this name who have done a great service to it. Angelica is very easy to say and it does have a sweet sound, at least from my point of view, that I would recommend it for anyone that sees it from a similar stand point as I do. In closing, it is not the name itself that offers either a negative or positive association, but the person
behind the name that does.

I hate the name Angelica so much. It reminds me of an annoying bossy little girl. Angelica is like another name for angel which makes that person named Angelica think highly of themselves just because they're part "angel" or whatever. And it just reminds me of the Rugrats character Angelica which is a very bratty little girl.

Well, it means "Angel-like" which makes sense. Much like Angel, the vampire from the hit 90s TV show Buffy the vampire Slayer, I too wear dark colors, stay up all night, hate socializing, and have a kind of scary dark side that I bury deep down and only comes out when I'm at my happiest.

Angelica Schuyler Church, sister-in-law of Alexander Hamilton and daughter of the wealthy senator and war veteran Philip Schuyler.

This was the name of Alexander Hamilton's (one of the USA's Founding Fathers) sister-in-law. She is a prominent character in the musical "Hamilton", and it's implied that they are having an affair, at least emotionally. Since the musical is very popular and it's a beautiful name, Angelica may come into more popularity soon.

I honestly don't like this name too much, I'm really not sure why. But it is still very pretty and has a nice ring to it and seems fun. I also really love all of the nickname possibilities. 'Jelly' is so cool! I kind of wish I knew someone with this name, even though it is not a favorite.

It's a shame that this name was ruined for so many people by "Rugrats." I mean, I am INFATUATED with that cartoon, but I do recommend using this name one day because that factor contributes to the name's rarity. It's beautiful, feminine, and somewhat even enchanted, so use this. You can always nickname a little girl Angie if you don't want people teasing her because of the Rugrats connection.

My godmother was named Angelica, but I never knew that until after she had passed away (everybody called her by a nickname that became her given name and had no relation to her first name). Her mother saw the name in a book and thought it was so beautiful, however, she wasn't aware of the usual pronunciation. And so, my godmother's name was pronounced "an-JEL-ICE-ə". Strangely enough, I feel that this softens out a somewhat harsh sounding name.

I adore this name. There's so many nicknames for it though I don't know why you would want to use one with a beautiful name like that. My little cousin's name is Angelica & we call her Jelly. We have two Angela's in the family. One goes by Angel & the other Angie so my aunt nicknamed her Jelly.

I love the way it sounds and the way it's spelled. I've only met one Angelica ever. It's definitely a name that you don't hear a lot. But due to the fact that I used to watch Rugrats and hated that bratty girl with this name with a passion I can't name my child this. But hey if you like the name, go for it.

I named my first born Angelica. The only name that came to me was Angel. Her father said all the Angels he knew were dancers. So, I named her Angelica. She is as lovely as her name. He calls her Angel anyway. Her father is Italian and I'm of Polish decent.

Angelica is my name and I absolutely love it. I like having a name that can be pronounced in both English and Spanish. If this wasn't my name I would want to give it to my daughter (when I have one), but I don't like it when a mom gives her name to her daughter. I think it's a strong name that is reflected in my maturity and sense of responsibility.
