Opinions on the girl name Alba?

We love Alba for our baby girl.

The only criticism for the name I can imagine, is a likeness to Albert.
However I personally don’t foresee that as an issue.
We love the nickname Allie, as my mother’s name is Alison and she goes by Allie aswell.

Just wanted general opinions to see if there was anything I was missing with the name / any reasons not to use.

Middle name will be Sofia after my grandmother.

other options we still have running are:
Iris
Cassia
Gia
Margot

Not all with middle name Sofia, depending on flow of course.

That would depend on age.

I'm in my 50s and immediately thought of the Alba TV, stereo and kettle I used to own.

But I think they stopped making electronic products around 2010 ish.

DS is 7 and I know of a few Albas. In fact, his friend Alba’s name was one of the first words he said so I’ve always had a soft spot for it!
