What do you think of the name Angel Genevieve?  My husband and I are stuck on this one and can;t think of any other names for our girl.

Angel is a terrible name. Plus, it strikes me as nearly a virtue name, and people with those names always turn out to be the opposite of what their name implies.

Genevieve is really lovely. Why not Genevieve Angel?

Yeah I dunno nothing else sticks out...we are sticking with A names so any ideas? Genevieve as a middle name bc its after my best friend who passed away 6 yrs ago. We thought about naming her after Gen but not really sure.

I hate Angel but Genevieve is gorgeous.

Maybe Angela Genevieve?

Angel, to me, is a pet-name. A term of endearment, something you call your child every so often - not permanently for the rest of her life.
Plus it reminds me of Buffy, and Peter Andre/Katie Price's daughter, 'Princess', which I personally think is very unfortunate.

Love Genevieve, and the reason you are using it :)

I'd say go with Angela Genevieve or Angelica Genevieve. Even Angelina Genevieve would be better...Angel is too "nickname-y."

I think Angel is terrible. Would you want to be a grown woman named Angel? Make it a pet name or a nickname if you want.

I LOVE Genevieve. It's beautiful.

If you like Angel, why not use it as her nickname or even a middle name? As much as it sucks, your legal name is something that can cause difficulty for you if it's not something that can sound professional. I posted about a girl I knew named Precious-Princess. How is that fair on a kid? Angel is on the same vein. It sounds cutesy and it sounds like a nickname someone couldn't let go of.

Sugary to the point of saccharine, I'm afraid...

I don't like Angel.
Genevieve is okay. When I was a child, it was rarely used and I loved it, but now I prefer the French pronunciation. (I'm assuming you're using the English.)

[shamayim.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all your input! Good points and I totally forgot about the Buffy thing too...its like naming your kid Bella from Twlight ( I'm not really a twlight person).

love Genevieve but dislike Angel.
I would prefer Angela, Angelica or Angelina with the nick name Angel.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I dislike Angel. I think it's absurd.

Angel is awful. Tack an 'a' at the end and call her Angela. You can still call her Angel if you want, as a nickname, but she'll have something a little more mature sounding when she grows up. I like Genevieve, and I like why you're using it. I think Genevieve Angel is a nicer name, personally.
