I'm down to the last few chapters of a popular book called "The Time Traveler's Wife" (Audrey Niffenegger) and the two main characters have just had a baby. Her name?

Alba

WDYT?

I personally wouldn't use it (my taste tends to be more traditional), but I know of a few people in this community who enjoy unusual names, so I thought I'd post it.

Excuse the long sentence; I've been up since 6 a.m.

I love that book! Alba is kind of cute, but I agree, NMS.

I like it well enough, there are prettier names but there is nothing really wrong with it. There are so many ways 'Alba' is used though and that's the only problem I can see, some people might think of the surname, others might think of Scotland and so on.

I think of Jessica Alba.

My aunt's cousin is named Alba. I associate that name with her I guess. It's an okay name.

I like.

That book is amazing. I absolutely love it.

Alba's okay.
I asked my friend what she thought and she said, "Reminds me of Jessica Alba," and that thought hadn't even crossed my mind. Ha.

I love that book and hated the name also.

I think its the name of a character in Isabelle Allende's House of Spirits.

I like it a lot. I was thinking of using it until I read the book while pregnant and thought it would be a bit too weird, seeing as the character in the book goes through some "interesting" experiences... It's also another name for Scotland I think.

Id' go with Ada instead.

It's not my taste, but I like the explanation in the book of why they chose it.
