[Facts] Angelisa / Angelsea (take note music fans)
Ok, I believe this is a question for the Facts Board but it's as much about music as it is about names. I'm just a little confused. :-/ I used to babysit for a family that adopted a little girl (who is now 10 years old) whom they named Angelisa, pronounced ahn-gah-LEE-sah, but they call her Angel, said just like the word "angel". The father, Bryan, always said her name and the pronunciation came from a Cat Stevens song. It wasn't until a few years ago that I tried searching for the song so I could hear what it sounded like, but to no avail. The closest I could find was a song called "Angelsea"--and unless I'm mistaken, the word or name Angelsea is never actually said in the song. Also, it looks more like ayn-gel-see (ah) or ahn-gahl-see (ah) than the above pronunciation to me. :( So I did a google search of Cat Stevens + Angelisa and came across a random message board where a girl said her name was Angelisa and that her name comes from a Cat Stevens song (btw, I'm positive this was not posted by the little girl that I know as she is mentally and physically disabled). Am I missing something? Does anyone know anything about the possible Cat Stevens connection to the name Angelisa? The pronunciation of Angelsea? The origin behind the possible ahn-gah-LEE-sah pronunciation? TIA! :)

This is the songAngelsea
She moves like and angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the window
Of her universal house He voice a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the gods
And a dancer to the gods Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ochre hair
Ooh my babe I want you
and on my life I swear
My conscience will I follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes if you if you meet me everywhere
