Okay, so now I have two similar girls' names that I'm having difficulties with...?

Question

I like these names:

- Anjali (AHN-jah-lee)

I like the first syllable most especially. Also, please answer: do you think the nickname of Angie would be alright for this name?

Last, but not least: Angelise (AN-jeh-LEES)

It isn't, but do you think this name sounds too contrived, or "made-up?" I really thank you a lot!!

Answer 1

I like both of the names. I don't think that Angelise sounds made up. It sounds very pretty. I like Angelise better of the two though. It sounds lovely, and I think that Angie would be a good nickname for both names.  

Answer 2

i like the name Annaliese. (Anna-leese)

Answer 3

I like the second one better but if you like the sound of the first you could do Anjalise(AHN-jah-LEES)

Answer 4

i like the name angelise a lot.

my name is angelina =)

Answer 5

I think the spelling of the first name is a little confusing and my personal favorite is 2nd one and it does NOT sound made up it actually sounds Great and Kind of Proper!! Good luck to you

Answer 6

I like both of those names and Angie would be a great nickname for either name.  But if I had to choose I would go with Anjali.

Answer 7

My friend's name is Angelee but pronounced the same so it's not made up.

Answer 8

angelise sounds super cool but go with what ur more comfortable with

Answer 9

I like Angelise. Its pretty but I couldn't find it listed on either http://www.babynamesworld or http://www.behindthename.com. What about Annelise (AH neh LEES)? It means grace or favor. Or Emmalise (EM ah leez) which means all-containing; universal.

Answer 10

dont reall like eather of htose, but i do have a alternative:

Ania or Anja (AN-ya)

Answer 11

I don't like the nickname Angie for Anjali.  Why pick a unique name only to call your child a common name?  Plus, Anjali isn't all that long.  So, I don't think Angie would be saving any breath or time.  

Anjali sounds a lot like Angele...so that's a little confusing.

How about Ana (AH-na), or Anastasia (Ah-na-sta-sia)... or something else along those lines since you like the AH sound?

Although, it's your opinion. Just trying to help.
