HelpAlbina
What do you think of Albina? I've liked Alba for a while, but I've never thought about Albina before. I ran into it the other day, and I think I like it. I want to hear other people's impressions of it.

Love Alba. Timeless.
Not big fan of Albina because of "albino." Nothing wrong with the word, but it is distracting. Love the old fashioned charm of Albinia though. :0)
Update: Albinia is not in the database? Where is the nn Binnie supposed to go? BtN is unfair to Binnies! :0P

Binnie is an adorable nickname.

I like it pretty well.
It's neat, and not nearly as stuffy as Alba.

Sounds like a female albino.

This was my first thought as well. It is a pity because I think I would otherwise like the name.

Looks like it more so than sounds, I think - al-bee-na vs. al-bye-no. That did cross my mind, unfortunately. Thank you for your feedback!

Albino can also be pronounced 'al-bee-no', though (like in the UK). I'll admit, that was my first thought when I saw the name. It looks pretty, but is probably only usable where 'albino' is pronounced with a '-bye-' sound.

I never knew it was pronounced that way in the UK! That definitely takes a bit more of the appeal off, since it could be a problem for a person who wants to travel.
I still like it, but it might be going into the "names I like but not for a real person" pile.
