help with girl names

[lenaleave]

DH and I just can't decide on our girl's name. Here are some options we've been playing with:
Alba White
Amla White
Zana White
Any thoughts? (We have 'safer' alternatives!)

Alba is lovely, but doesn't it mean white? Don't like the others, sorry.

Alba is white. I'm guessing White is the surname?

Yes, White is the surname - sorry did not clarify earlier - thank you all so much!

Alba is beautiful. One of my favourite girls names.

Alma

Alba is nice but wouldn't go well with White. Something like Violet White or Esmeralda White if you want to be whimsical.

Thanks so much for your feedback! The idea was that White is a very common surname so it would be nice to have a less common first name...Please keep commenting, baby due in a week!

If you mean Alma, that would get my vote.

I don't like any of them... sorry OP! Just my personal opinion of course.

I like Alba best but it means white so sounds a bit funny with the surname! Alma is nice too. I think Zana would be constantly confused for Zara.

Cora
Oona
Vita
Xanthe
Runa
Tova
Cleo
Pippa
Greta
Frida
Ada
Malin

Zinnia White
Not keen on your choices sorry.

I like Alba, but wouldn't use it with White as it has the same meaning - it's the equivalent of White White. Don't like Alma and not convinced on Zana - Zanna and Zinnia are both better imo .

Really like a lot of Joona's suggestions.

Alma?.....

Zana White.

Love Alma

Anna

Something like Violet White .... sounds like a pale paint... I'd avoid all colour-related names.

Alma is nice. Zana would be but (to my ear) a bit too much like zany.

Sorry OP I'm not keen on them.

Vita
Juno
Posy

Alba means dawn as well. But I still think it sounds rather awkward.
Xenia? Similar sound to Zana, but with an extra syllable. I actually think it flows better with your surname.

Alma is lovely.

I think Alba is lovely.

Don't like the other two, sorry.

Zita
Zena
Zorah
Dorie
Elma
?

Thanks everyone, we knew about the double white issue with Alba but thought we could get away with it - sounds like not! And I meant Amla not Alma (which means sweet in my language) but again it looks like everyone will always read it as Alma so will consider Alma instead. This has been very useful. The safer options (or so we think) are Hana and Livia. Any thoughts on how they compare to Alma?

Oh, I've not heard of Amla before! Sounds nice.

I prefer Amla to Alba, and I prefer Alma to Amla. However it may just be because I am not used to Amla as a name. I like it when names have a nice meaning too.

Going against the grain here; I like Zana best from your original list.

But, from your update - I love both Livia and Hana

I love Livia and Hana.
