Alba, Allegra or Quinn?

[SequinsAndSparkles]

I have just found out that I am expecting another baby

We are settled on our boys name, but Alba, Allegra and Quinn are my favourite girls names. What do you all think?

Quinn sounds like a boy's name to me so that would put me off.

Alba is the girl in Time Traveller's Wife, a book I love; Allegra is nice too, unusual.

Quinn is awful and makes me think of that cow from Glee. The other two are fine, prefer Allegra.

Agree Quinn is the nightmare from Glee. Alba is OK but Allegra is better.

Allegra is lovely and classy. Alba is one of those names closely linked with a word, in this case white. So it might look a bit contrived if your DD is very pale, and odd if she's dark. Quinn is too much like quim.

Allegra definitely the best imo.

I've just been reading about Lord Byron and his illegitimate daughter Allegra (Clara Allegra known as Allegra) was initially named Alba by her mother. Apparantly it also means 'dawn' as well as 'white'. Just odd to see the two names together on a post so soon after I read about it.

I think out of the three I prefer Allegra but Alba is nice also.

Quinn is quite masculine. Maybe as a mn - Allegra Quinn?

Congratulations and good luck finding a name.

I quite like Quinn...but from your list Allegra gets my vote.

What about Avery?

Congratulations on BFP

Alba also means Scotland.

Alba is a cheap make of stereo from my teenage years. Avoid!

Quinn is a boys name, and rather too like "quim" for me to choose it.

Alba doesn't really do it for me.

Allegra is a fantastic name.

Alba - Time Travellers Wife
Quinn - Glee
Allegra - car

I absolutely love them all. But I have no idea what Glee is, so maybe that's not helpful.

I think Allegra us my fave, then Alba, then Quinn.

What is your boy's name, if you don't mind me asking? You seem to have great taste.

I know a little boy called Quinn and love it but think it's too harsh for a girl..

I like both Alba and Allegra - probably prefer Allegra though..

Quinn is a boys name to me. Alba immediately registers as Scotland in my mind. Allegra is really lovely

Don't worry about the car, they stopped making it in 1983, no one in her peer group will have seen one. Her friends grandparents might have driven one, her friends parents might just have ridden in one when they were small. If any even survive now they're probably appreciating rapidly. The allegro reference is not going to chase her round the playground.

Quinn and Alba are awful, imo. Allegra is OK - a bit hard, though.

I love Alba also like Allegea and Quinn but my order would be Alba Allegra Quinn for preference

Definately Allegra!

Alba is actually one of my favourite names!

Defo Allegra. Alba made shit stereos in the 80s and Quinn sounds like Quim to my juvenile ears...

Alba is very pretty. Allegra quite nice, but don't like Quinn.

I know two boy Quinns, one is short for Quentin. Sounds very masculine to my ears.

I like Allegra and Alba - both sound feminine and beautiful.

Quinn is boy's name or Glee character to me too. Alba is the C60 cassette brand. Allegra is nice and the best choice. Agree that Allegra Quinn might go together if you really want to include Quinn.

Allegra is the nicest of the three for me. Quinn feels more male than female to me - don't watch Glee so that reference is not something I recognise. Alba makes me think of the actress Jessica Alba - it's a surname to me and not particularly feminine.

I really like Allegra.

Alba is less nice sounding imo. And Quinn is a boys name - my ds is Quentin and sometimes gets called Quinn.

p.s. I don't watch glee

I love Alba and its on my shortlist. Allegra nice but reminds me of the musical instruction Allegro. Quinn is very boyish imo.
