It makes me think 'Alba gu brath' which is Scots Gaelic for Scotland forever. So I'm a fan when it's taken to mean Scotland, as well as the probably more popular meaning given on this site.

I think it's lovely as a middle name but I've met a girl whose first name was Alba and it's kind of put me off it as a first name.

Reminds me of Jessica Alba but the name, itself, is okay. Nothing I'd ever use but I could appreciate it on someone else.

I love it!!!

Ever since I've read The Time Traveler's Wife, I love love love Alba and I seriously consider using it in the future. Have you read TTTW? It's my favorite book.
Some Alba combos:

---

Alba Serafina
Alba Madeleine
Alba Elizabeth
Alba Sofia
Alba Francesca

LOVE Rosalba!

Alba is lovely, it makes me think of The Time Travelers Wife!

I used to like it because of "House of Spirits" by Isabel Allende, but now it only makes me think of Jessica Alba so I wouldn't use it.

Gorgeous.

Alba's stock must be on the rise. I'm seeing it more and more on these boards. I hope that reflects what's going on in the real world of baby-naming. I'd love to meet a little Alba or Rosalba on day.

The male form, Alban, is very distinguished.

It's nice, but I wouldn't use, it's a bit too "frilly".

I really like it too.

That name really has grown on me. I like it.
