The list:
Anna
Astrid
Francesca
Alba

I dunno! Don't want it to be too popular. I like classic names and names from history and literature. Any suggestions welcomed!

As you probably know alba means sunrise in Spanish. Alma means soul so I prefer that as far as meanings go.

I really like all of your choices of names, except for Alba, which I'm not as keen on.

How about...

Artemis
Juliet
Ada
Helen

I have one from your list (the first one) it really is a lovely name. I never tire of saying it even when it's being guldered at a "spirited" 6 year old Grin.
I know an Astrid, I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me, which strangely is the opposite of Alba. I thought it was lovely at first but not so much now. I do like Francesca, it floated about our list for a while.

Not Astrid, unless you're Scandinavian. The others are all nice.

I love Anna and Astrid :)

To me, Alba sounds like egg white, sorry.

KarineAimee · 10/08/2017 20:35

Love Astrid!

FizzyGreenWater · 10/08/2017 20:56

Anna is pretty much unbeatable.

Anna is pretty
I prefer Alberta to Alba

MadameJosephine · 10/08/2017 21:10

Love Anna

How about Annaliese?

Minstrelsareyum · 10/08/2017 21:16

Anna!

A PP mentioned 'Anastasia' which could be shortened to 'Anna' or 'Ana'. Stunning name/nickname.

Elmersnewfriend · 10/08/2017 21:18

How about Thea?

MaroonPencil · 10/08/2017 21:18

Anna. Love it.

n0ne · 10/08/2017 21:30

Astrid!

MollyHuaCha · 10/08/2017 21:50
