The name Angela can be translated into Chinese several ways.
Firstly, the symbol for An means peace.
Japanese and Chinese symbols are the same. However, the sound may be different. Think of the no smoking sign in England and France. It looks like a cigaarette with diagonal line or a red cross though it. But the meaning will be pronounced in English as No smoking. In French the words are different.
Although you have a choice of words which sound like the English syllable, certain wirtten symbols are more suitable than others. You might want to echo the simplicity of the Chinese writing of the first syllable with the Chinese writing of the second syllable.
Some signs are considered prettier than others.
