Are these considered good names to name a boy?

I very vaguely remember, maybe hearing that it is unideal to name after the Angels? Is there a source for that, or am I remembering incorrectly?

The few Gavriels, Michaels, Refaels, and Uriels that I know--I don't know if they were specifically named after malachim or if they were named after people or if the parents liked the name--but a I know a few with each of those names. They are definitely names used in the frum world for boys.

We have one of those named after someone who was named after. It goes back to someone born in the 1800/s.

I know a family that gave all the names. They have Gavriel, Michoel, Uriel, and one for some reason the last is Shai Refoel.

My brother was Gavriel. In his 45 years of life, he literally was a malach to countless people.
All Gavriels in my family, named after a great, great grandfather are people who are
greatness in itself.

I have a son with an "angel" name (named after someone). He felt like a million dollars when he went to his rebbe in first grade and told him there were 2 reasons his name was great. 1) It's the name of a Malach 2) It includes Hashem's name. His rebbe responded that there's a third reason. That it's a great name because it's my son's name.
