Angelina has been a long favorite of mine; I used to really like the show Angelina Ballerina, too (I wanted to grow up to be a dancer when I was 5). I love to say this melodic name in full, without any nicknames; it’s too pretty for a nickname (though, all of the options are just as beautiful!). Anyone considering Angelina, go for it!

I think Angelina is a beautiful name, it reminds me of Angelina ballerina and that's a good thing because that show was part of my childhood, my sister's name is Angelina and she has a ton of nicknames, Angie, Lina, Ina ballerina, etc. I've never met any other Angelina's, also Angelina Jolie doesn't ruin the name for me.

Why do the people not like the name- because that's Angelina Jolie's name?

This name feels elegant, soft, proper and poised but also studious. I'm a big fan, but I rarely hear this name. I'm also not familiar with the pop culture references at all, so I wouldn't bother taking those into account.

A very pretty and elegant name, I consider it perhaps a tier above Angeline and Angelica. I don't think it is too associated with Angelina Jolie to be unusable, personally it reminds me more of Angelina Ballerina the cartoon mouse which is a cute association. Lovely choice to anyone that was considering it.

I think the name Angelina is pretty cute. But it’s hard to nowadays, because the first link I make when I hear that name is a certain person called Angelina, who pretty much spoils it all for me. When I was around eight to when I was around twelve, I suffered from bullying. I hated school so bad those years. And guess what, the queen of the bullies was called Angelina. God, I hated her so much. All the cruel things she said to me and did to me only made me hate her more and more everyday. And so her name went along with my hate for her. In the end, my parents finally pleaded to the principal about Angelina, and she got suspended for a few days or so. I am now fourteen, and only see her around the halls, occasionally. We ignore each other completely, and my hate for her has faded away for good and I believe she’s stopped being mean to others and has fairly improved (I suppose). Anyway, I’ve met other Angelina’s besides her. One of them is my ten-year-old neighbor, who goes by Angie. She’s a sweet and lovely girl. But still, the thought of mean ol’ Angelina triumphs whenever the name is spoken.
Regardless, I do NOT hate the name Angelina. I just can’t appreciate it as much as some may, since it’s associated to bad memories for me. But I wouldn’t see any issue in calling your child Angelina. It’s fairly pretty and to me, expresses something gracious and angelic, from where it’s derived. Nobody will stop you from calling your kid Angelina. Some nicknames to it: Angie, Lina, Lynn, Gigi, Ann(e), Annie, Anna, etc...

I love all those angelic names to pieces. And I love long and frilly names as well, and Angelina definitely is one. I think it has a lot of charm and sweetness to it, and I think it suits a conscientious, kindhearted and thoughtful, altruistic person, but also someone pretty. At the same time though, Angelina is a bit of a guilty pleasure name for me, and one of those names I love but would never use, even assuming I would have kids. I wouldn't use it here in Poland, because in Polish language, even to me it sounds quite overdone and a bit pretentious. In an English-speaking country I most likely wouldn't use it on a child either, because of the Angelina Jolie association. I don't have anything against her but am not her fan at all either so I think that would bother me. But it's a lovely name anyway, and especially for a fictional character. It's so melodic and slightly magical. Perhaps because it is so angelic it makes me think of Christmas. When I think of this name, I imagine a teenage girl, with waste-length, thick hair, either jet black or golden. If jet black then she has blue eyes, if golden, then her eyes are hazel-ish. Her eyes are big and very expressive, and she has long, dreamy eyelashes. She has fair skin by nature but I imagine her with a bit of tan. She is tall and slim, slender and generally quite attractive. She is agile and may be into sports. This is just how I imagine an Angelina when I think of this name, and not how I think all Angelinas are or should be like and I don't even know anyone with this name, it's just my imagining of a person with this name.

The name Angelina IS used in Poland, unlike the previous commenter wrote. It may not be very popular and it's sort of controversial for many people because it's unclear how it should be spelled/pronounced, and Polish is a phonetical language so it's not a common situation, but it is used over here. The name Angelika was popular sometime in the late 80's-early 90's, and you can still find quite a handful of little baby Angelikas every year, and I believe Angelina - and to a lesser extent Angela as well - have started being used over here thanks to Angelika, and likely also thanks to Angelina Jolie to some degree, even though we do actually have our own Angela related name which is Aniela. Most people pronounce Angelika, Angelina and Angela with the hard G as in English or Italian, however according to Polish phonetics, the spelling would suggest pronouncing it with the soft G as in Gabriella and some people, especially linguists, insist that these angelic names should be pronounced this way, or at least that they should be spelled to reflect the pronunciation. To reflect that first pronunciation, another way to spell Angelina in Polish is Andżelina. But in fact you'll rarely if ever hear Angelina/Angelika/Angela being pronounced with a soft G, I've heard that only among nuns. Angelina has even two name days in Poland - 30th April and 15th July. - It's perceived as very modern here, as many other names that have come from the English-speaking world, and many people find Angelina and her other angelic cousins with the hard G rather pretentious and lower-class. In July 2017, there were 2854 Angelinas in the Polish population, followed by 400 Andżelinas, and even 198 Anhelinas. I've also heard about the spelling Andrzelina being used, but it must be very rare and it's not ortographically correct. Last year (2018), 12 baby girls were given the name Angelina (#280 in the girls' ranking) and there were no other spellings listed. Possible nicknames may include Angela, Angelka, Andzia, Angelinka, Angelusia, Lina, Linka, and whatever else you can come up with.

I love, love, love the name Angelina. I think the letters really flow together and the name just sounds like a song. But I don't enjoy how it's like 'your namesake is Angie Jolie!' because although she is a lovely actress, I want my child to be her own person and not named after a random celebrity.
I like Lina and Annie as nicknames.

I was born in 1996, so the name "Angelina" was not really popular and was very uncommon in the city where I live as it was ranked #310 in the United States. My mother's grandmother had given me the name because she had thought it was beautiful and that it would be special if I was named after my mother, Angela. I still find the name "Angelina" as one of the most unique and beautiful names in the world. However, I would hate it if it became too common of a name as it would lose its individuality and uniqueness. Also, Angelina Jolie happens to be one of my favorite actresses so I think it's awesome that we share names.

My name is Angelina Swan. My dad is from London and my mom is from Italy. They named me Angelina because "Swan" sounds really English from England and they wanted me to have some Italian in my name. Also, Angelina means "little angel" and I am their little Angel. I really like this name because my nickname is "Angel" and it sounds gracious.

I named my daughter Angelina back in 2003. I didn't get it from Jolie. Personally, she has ruined my daughter's name. I loved the name, I actually got it from a girl I knew. Angelina isn't common from where I'm from. I only know one other person, besides my daughter and the girl I named her after. But to this day, I only know 3. People at work have asked if I named my daughter after Jolie and the answer has always been, hell no. Jolie wasn't even big when I had my daughter.
My daughter also got the name Angelina because I was a BAD teenager, on drugs and alcohol bad. When I found out I was pregnant a few months after my 17th birthday, I cried. I had plans to go to college and become something. I don't think I would have made it though, I was so messed up on drugs it was ridiculous! My daughter is my Angel who saved me from a downward spiral in life. She is the one I straightened up for and the reason I became the woman I am now. I have been clean since the day I found out I was pregnant and have never relapsed. She is my Angel and her and her 2 brothers are my life.
She will forever be my Angel, sent from God, to straighten me out. I am forever grateful for her! She knows how she got her name and she knows she saved me! My personal Angel!

"Angelina" the name is - as correctly pointed out by another post - Persian in origin. The word "Angel" and the Greek word "Angelos" both derive from the ancient Persian word "agaros". Furthermore the name "Angelina" has Zoroastrian religious background because the denotion of angels was first given in ancient Persian Zoroastrian religion, roughly 600-1000 BC or even further back. It influenced all Abrahamic religions, such as Christianity and Judaism, with angels. In fact, back then and still today the religious symbol of Zoroastrian religion itself is an angel.
Furthermore the ending "Ina" after the Persian originated word "Angel" is common among Persian names as well, e.g. "Mina", another beautiful name of Persian origin.
"Angelina" is a very beautiful name, beautiful Persian ancient origin and background, great meaning and still as beautiful today.

My 3rd great grandmother was given this name and on old church documents written as Angelina. Angelique on (baptism record) and Angela, on her grave stone. She was born in Olingen, (ouijen French spelling) Luxembourg in 1823 and was of catholic faith married into a German catholic family and came to America in 1851. This name seems to have never really lost its popularity and I guess its Latin origins lends it out to many nationalities that practice Catholicism, in fact I would claim this as a catholic name at least years ago, but now anyone uses it.

It's a very cute name, but it sounds better on little girls and teens than it does on adults.

I don't mind the name Angela, but I hate this name. I think it's because I don't like the name Lina, and the Lina at the end of this name turns me off. I also hate the name Angie, and would never use this nickname. It sounds like a dog’s name, not a person’s name. I also hate Angelina Jolie, and every time I hear this name, I think of her. I am sure she's the reason why this name has become so popular, since I've never heard this name before she becasue famous. And to the person who thinks Angelina Jolie is arguably the most beautiful women in the world, I can think of thousands of women more beautiful than her. Personally, I found her to be a very unattractive person.

Angelina is one of the most beautiful names I have heard of. But if too many people use it, it becomes kind of old and common-place. Angelina Jolie is a well-known name-sake, and she makes her name legendary. If I had a daughter, I would probably give her an uncommon name so people wouldn't tie her to another person. The name Angelina is also of Italian origin. Italian, Indian, Irish, and many Eastern language origins, have names that mean "pretty" such as the names: Eirian, Jia, Isolde, and Kalyan. These names are simple yet elegant. Anyway, Angelina is a wonderful name but it's a lot to live for. It does mean "pretty" and "angel".

I think that despite its growing popularity, I still am somewhat fond of the name. The only reason why I began to hate this name because in Fourth Grade, I met the most elitist Korean girl in my school! She would pick on me, calling me "saucebox" and "Smarties" over and over again. What made even more vexatious was her accent *shudders*. Sorry, but it has ruined this name for me!

"Angelina" is a popular Bulgarian name too. "Angel" is the masculine form in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian word "angel" means "angel" in English, but the Bulgarian pronunciation is [angel], where "a" is pronounced [a], not [ei], "g" is pronounced [g], not [dg] or [j], "e" is pronounced [e] and the stress is on the "a". "Angelina" is pronounced in the same way except the stress - here the stress is on the "i".
