The naming "Malak" (angel) is permissible and has been considered good in the context of discussing the permissibility of naming children after prophets, angels, and companions. As for what was published on the English website regarding its disliking, it came in the context of discussing names that involve self-praise, and disliking (karahah) is removed by the slightest reason for tolerance.
