I prefer it over Alma and Alva.

It's ... nice. I'm an Elva person myself. The bah part, I dunno, it's not my thing.
Alba on paper makes me think of the Latin for white, as in linea alba. I doubt I'd think of that if it were on a person though. I'd probably relate it more to Alberta.

I like it. The meanings are nice enough and I like the sound. Not as keen on the way it looks though.

I have a soft spot for it because I shipped Remus/Tonk hardcore from Order of the Phoenix on, and after Half-Blood Prince was released, I read an adorable fanfic, that took place several years after that, where they had a young daughter named Alba (in honor of Dumbledore). She was so cute. LOL.

I like it, though it feels incomplete to me. I prefer Albertine and Alberta.

I really dislike it. I don't find it pretty at all. :(

For some reason it seems appropriate for an opera singer. Perhaps, one famous for being famous rather than for her voice alone!

ETA Or, of course, Dumbledore's niece.

I like it in theory, but in reality I think it sounds like someone with a cold trying to say Alva (which is a very common girls name here)

I think the b in the middle makes it sound harsh, so I prefer Alma.

The sound is a little harsh, but I like it. I enjoy Alba Corrine.

This is so weird. I was thinking about that name today. I love it and always have!
