Currently making a baby girl name list for all my potential daughter names (quite obsessed right now), however I came across a dilemma and could sort of use help in alternatives, I always wanted to name my daughter [name_u]Angel[/name_u] [name_u]Baby[/name_u] (after the song) but unfortunately I have a cousin with the name [name_u]Angel[/name_u], we don’t really talk, but I’ll feel rude in using their name, is there any alternatives with names like [name_u]Angel[/name_u], or names that could be a better fit, it sucks not being able to use it, but I like the appeal of the name alone rather than the reference

This is kinda a mishmash of words and names that may be usable:
Celeste / Celestia (like “celestial being” or Latin for heavenly)
Christian / Cristina
Divine / Divina / Davina (like “divine being”)
Dream / Dreama
Heaven
Gem / Gemma
Jewel
Melek (Turkish for angel)
Nevaeh (heaven spelled backwards)
Nirvana
Saint
Seraph
Sky
Spirit
Star
Stella
Treasure
You could also use angels from the Bible. Usually they are male, so you can use the feminine version:
Ariel / Arielle (Ariel - “lion of God;” angel of protection)
Cassie (Cassiel - angel of Saturn)
Emma (Emmanuel - angel whose name means “God with us”)
Gabriela / Gabrielle (Gabriel - archangel whose name means “man or hero of God”)
Hannah / Hanna (Haniel - archangel who guards the tree of life)
Hayley / Hailey (Hayliel - angel prince of the seventh heaven)
Haziel / Hazel (Haziel - angel whose name means “vision of God”
Laylah - angel who oversees and protects childbirth
Leo / Leah (Leo = an angel who thwarts demons)
Michelle / Michaela / Mikayla (Michael - archangel whos name means “who is as God”)
Minnie (Miniel - angel invoked to induce love)
Muriel - angel who rules the dominions and the month of June
Nathalie / Natalie (Nathanael - angel ruling over hidden things, fire, and vengeance)
Naya (Naya’il - angel of testing)
Ophelia (Ophiel - One ruling angel of the provinces of heaven and Mercury)
Pamela (Pamyel - ruling angel of the ninth hour of night)
Raphaella / Raffaella (Raphael - archangel whose name means “the shining one who heals”)
Remi / Remy / Remie (Remiel - angel whose name means “mercy of God”)
Samantha / Sam (Samuel - ruling angel of the sixth hour of the day)
There’s definitely more. These were just the ones that stood out to me. Here’s the full list of angels, that I found - List of Angels - Angelicpedia

@Elle1 I can’t thank you enough for these names! I haven’t even thought about naming them after angels, I find it hard to find female names that can replace [name_u]Angel[/name_u], but I will be peeping at your link!
I actually know a girl named Angelaxbaby. That’s her official name and it’s on our yearbook and everything. I thought that was a difficult one to live up to!

@sweetcaroline personally also like that name, though I feel it’s to long and a “mushed up”, not for me but props to the parents for being able to find a unique name, I wouldn’t have the guts to name my child that !
@princesspanda - No problem, take your time! I also love the name [name_u]Angel[/name_u], but as a unisex name. I fell in love with it from a male character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
So Angelus is on my boy name list 
And it’s possible that, whenever you happen to give birth to a daughter, the association with your cousin may be less. I don’t know about your family, but I certainly have cousins that I’ve grown away from, and others that I’ve grown closer to, over the years 
I would feel no qualms about taking a name that I LOVE from a relative I rarely/never talk to…
