I love this name and considering it for dc3. Possibly Alma Lily. What do you think?

Makes me think of the elephant ! (I do know that's Elmer, but still!)

Yes, do it! I know a 5 year old Alma Jean and she is gorgeous.

Pudden. Alma Pudden. From Fifth formers of St Claire's.

I couldn't do it to a child myself.

I quite like it. I think it could be on its way back "in" too.

I like it. also like Ida.

I think it's nice, although I do know a pub with that name.

Aphra is also cool.

I like it and think that combo is lovely.

sweetestB · 02/02/2013 08:42

It means "soul"

I have met a baby Alma. I quite like it but it really reminds me of coronation street!

I think it's one of those names that isn't quite ready for a resurgence. Like Hilary or Gail or Beryl.

Sorry but I really really don't like it.

For some reason it makes me think of a dumpy, sour faced old woman.

Appologies to all those Almas out there!
