Alba Rose - girls name- your thoughts

Ok so previously I had posted on Sorrel Bea as a little girls name and had some really useful feedback. Since then my husband has said he isn't keen.

He likes Alba Rose- any thoughts?

I also like Thistle

I love that. Thistlerose! Thanks for your feed back. It doesn't make me think of electrical goods which is good!

I know Rose has annoyingly become the middle name of the year!

I prefer Alberta Rose, with Alba as a nickname.

I like Alba Rose I think it's really pretty.

Sorrel is lovely...

Alba just makes me think Jessica Alba.

Alba sounds and looks really ugly to me.

Anyway, no, no, NO to Thistle. It's a bit spikey

As is Holly. :)

It's nice.

I really like both Alba and rose. It doesn't remind me of cheap electrical goods - just Time Traveller's Wife, the Scots word for Scotland, and Latin for 'white'.

Rose is a very popular middle name now but I don't suppose it matters much.

A child in one of the Brother Cadfael books is called Rosalba, which I think sounds nicer.

I also know a girl called Thistlerose (though she now calls herself just Thistle) I really like it, though maybe that's because the girl herself is lovely.

I really like it, didn't make me think of electrical's Smile

Sorry Really not keen on Alba. Same as make of stereos etc.

Needhelppls · 13/07/2014 11:58

I like Rose not keen on Alba just not my kind of name but not horrible just no where near as nice as Rose

Alba and Thistle, quite the Scottish theme there.

Anyway, no, no, NO to Thistle. It's a bit spikey. Alba reminds me of cheap electrical goods.

Sorrel is so much better than both of these other two options.
