I started to think about this name recently. It was very overused for some time, and I have tended to prefer Angelica, personally. However, I do feel that it could be time to start considering Angela again. It's a lovely name, and I know that people have mixed feelings about Angie, but I do actually like that nickname.

Same. I had a teacher aid called Angela, and she was very mean.

I must admit, I'd love this name more if it wasn't for the people I already know named Angela.

Angela was popular among British aristocrats in the early 20th century. The Queen Mother was Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, and the writer Angela Thirkell, born in 1890, was the granddaughter of Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones.
