My first name is Albertine. I was born in 1953 in America. It is my mom's middle name and my great-grandmother's first name. I've always loved it. As a little girl, I think that was because it sounded so exotic. Now I love it because hardly anyone is named that. My great-grandmother came from a place that used to be Germany (far north) but is now in Poland. She emigrated to Canada before 1900.

One is ahl-bər-TEE-nə (which is often used in the north) and the other is ahl-bər-TEEN (which is often used in the south).
Albertine is used seldom in France currently, because Albert is considered a very masculine name. In fact the only time I saw it, it was in a book by Proust. Albertine in this novel is a young woman the narrator's in love with, and lives with for a time, before she dies, quite young.
