'Angielka Geniusz' - Is this correct in Polish?

A question for the Polish speakers on the forum.

I finally decided to learn Polish as I know some native speakers of the language. I change the bit that normally says "Senior Member", "Junior Member" etc. to what should translate as English Genius, which I have put as Angielka Geniusz. Is that correct or not?

Angielka Geniusz

Angielski Geniusz

like Engelsk Genius (which is Danish)

Thanks gumishu, but why not "Geniusz Angielski"? An adjective goes after a noun, as I remember.

Geniusz Angielski has specific connotations which I doubt you had in mind

and adjective can be placed before or after the noun but both have specific uses - in the plain use you place the adjective before the noun

biały orzeł is something different to Orzeł Biały

albo "Genialna Angielka"

he is clearly not an Angielka :P;)

Geniusz Angielski

This sounds like the genius of the English nation.

Angielski Geniusz

Sounds like a genius from England.
