What do we think of Alma?

Saw it yesterday on a website about old-fashioned names, with an Australian focus, and my DH really likes it. He also likes Flora. I like both and we also have Florence and now Olive on the list.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I know a lovely American lady called Alma, so have a nice association with the name, but I do think it's perhaps a bit harsh, plus there aren't really any associated diminutives, which for me isn't great.

Oh, yes Alma bit harsh too.

Is Alma Sedgewick someone? Reminds me her whoever she is!

Ooooh and Olive reminds me of Olive from On the Buses!

Thanks Pottering. Do you think it's "pretty" enough or is a bit harsh. I don't think it is one of those names that people will say "that's lovely" (like Rose for example) and I am wondering whether I am doing her a disservice by giving her a name like this. Not that I think girls need pretty names at all, but I want her to have a nice name.
