Angelina makes me think Jolie first and Ballerina second (the book mouse). I'm not personally fond of any of the Angel names as almost every "Angel" I meet is a holy terror. But it is a lovely name. I checked SSA and it's risen quite a bit in the last 10 years:
2004 - 60
2003 - 71
2002 - 75
2001 - 94
2000 - 157
1999 - 238
1998 - 268
1997 - 270
1996 - 310
1995 - 303
So I'd classify it as a bit trendy at the moment as it's never been higher on the charts as it is now and it's gotten to the top fairly quickly considering it was in the high 300's only 10 years ago.
My youngest is Angelina. Even though it's moving up the SSA list, I've yet to actually meet another Angelina. With three girls I go to lots of playgroups, sports, kids classrooms etc, and was actually suprised there isn't another. But there is an Angelica in my 3rd graders class, she goes by Angie. My dd goes by the nickname Gina.
My dd is named after Angelina Ballerina, my older two girls picked it and basically insisted it was her name. Dh and I tried to pick something else, but in the end after hearing Angelina for months we decided that yes, it sounded like her name :)
