I love this name and considering it for dc3. Possibly Alma Lily. What do you think?

Actually, if I'd never herd it before, I would think "What a lovely name."

Love it. Seems I only breed boys, but its top of my girls list.

Love it, and Alba too.

echidnakid - I checked the meaning of it, alma mater means "nourishing mother"in Latin.
so alma would be the nourishing part, which I personally find very interesting, because as it's been mentioned upthread, it also means apple in Hungarian.

OP - I can't help thinking, that if, you name her Alma, she's going to be one of your 5 a day!

Thank you! Really nice meaning, feeling quite sold on it now. My dh quite likes it and is "having a think" so I just hope he agrees!

Alma mater.

I like it. As well as apple in Hungarian, in Spanish it means 'soul', so lots of nice meanings
