Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Angelia?
in reply to a message by REM
Hmm... Maybe because I'm used to hearing Angelina, I feel like something is missing when I see Angelia. Is it pronounced ann-JELL-ee-uh or ann-jel-LEE-uh? I'm afraid people would call her Angelina her whole life anyway, misreading it or mishearing it.
I don't care for Angelita. I generally dislike the -ita ending. I live in Texas, amidst a large Hispanic population, and generally names ending in -ita are associated with middle-aged Hispanic women: Rosita, Margarita, Lupita, etc. However, I love the name Rita! Go figure. :-)
Thanks for your help!

ann-jel-LEE-uh is how I pronounce it. I don't think people would mispell, but maybe. I don't care as much for Angelita either, but I do like Angelia. Maybe spell it Angeliah? I'm not one for creative spellings, but that would deter the Angelina spelling. Not sure. Angeliah might be mispronounced as an-jel-I-uh.
Oh, I love Lupita. I never heard it before watching Man On Fire. With nn Pita, I think it's so cute (except the similarity to the bread).
