I think Alma could well tie in to the Emma / Ella / Allie / Amelia / Emily etc trend that's currently so dominant in girls' names.

I find Alma a little plain, but it's also quite sweet. I think it needs a long, rich middle name:

---

Alma Elizabeth
Alma Christine
Alma Vivienne
Alma Gwendolen
Alma Olivia
Alma Sylvie
Alma Evelyn
Alma Charlotte
Alma Caroline
Alma Cecily
Alma Dominique
Alma Catherine
Alma Therese

I believe the use of the name has historical significance in that it dates from the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War (1854).
