This is my grandmother's name, she is of Irish and French decent. Personally, I love the name as it is elegant and rare.

I don't like this name at all, and met it for the first time when I was looking through old British newspapers of the 1830s and noticed a death notice for a teenage Elvina, the daughter of a naval officer. Alvina is a tad prettier, though.
