Alba is my favourite. Have you read House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende? The family all have gorgeous names connected to light/clarity: Clara, Blanca and Alba.

Avian a makes me think of avian flu. (Sorry!)

Luisa is really pretty but she would be forever correcting people spelling it Louisa, if you're living in an english speaking country. Also the Spanish pronunciation is a little different, with a SSS rather than a ZZZ sound and you might find different people saying it differently to be frustrating!

I really like Aviana. Very pretty, yet strong.

I prefer Aviana out of those, seems much feminine than Alba.I may be wrong but doesn't Alba translate as 'white'? If so , doesn't work for me.If people weren't aware of a Spanish connection they would assume Luisa was just Louisa with a letter missing by mistake.Same as ever though, whichever sits best with you. Aviana though, I personally really like.
