- Personal experiences with the name Angel
-I would say that I love my name about 80% of the time. It's unique and cute and generally helps with making a good first impression. The other 20% is just annoying. I've been asked numerous times if I've ever been a stripper, or get super lame pickup lines such as:"You look like an Angel", "Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?", "Where are your wings?"
-The other thing that I've noticed about my name is that whenever I introduce myself as ANGEL, people always have the tendency to lengthen it to "Angela" or "Angelina" even though that's not my name.
-My friend Angel "Angie", is very shy and quiet, but has a sweet and kind personality. The name is just adorable.
