All lovely but I vote for Livia.

MinisterForSmallFountains · 30/08/2017 11:01

I love Hana - flower in Japanese.

OhTheRoses · 30/08/2017 11:01

Alma is the only name with the customary or correct UK spelling so that. I like Hannah and Olivia very much though.

Coey2016 · 30/08/2017 11:18

Livia

MrsJoyOdell · 30/08/2017 11:20

Not keen on Hana at all, Hannah is much nicer.

Prefer Livia from your list though.

Ginandplatonic · 30/08/2017 11:21

Really like Livia.

Mammadragon · 30/08/2017 11:22

I like Livia but would worry it would be mistaken for Olivia all the time! Would you consider Livinia?
Livia is the nicest IMO :) good luck Friday!

TonicAndTonic · 30/08/2017 11:24

I like Hana, though you will have to contend with people trying to spell it Hannah.

early30smum · 30/08/2017 11:54

Livia for sure!

RebeccaCloud9 · 30/08/2017 11:56

Is it pronounced Hannah or Harna?

Sunshinegirls · 30/08/2017 12:01

Olivia is the most popular baby name in the UK at the moment so I wouldn't choose Livia because she would be in a class full of other Olivia's though it is lovely. I think Alma is gorgeous. All good choices though

grufallosfriend · 30/08/2017 13:00

Alma is beautiful! And not overused. Great choice.

Livia is a bit boring due to there being so many Olivias, Livvies, etc already

PsychoPumpkin · 30/08/2017 13:01

I love Alma!

Copperbeech33 · 30/08/2017 13:03

Hana is lovely, so is Alma, I agree Livia is too common, and would consider Lavinia.

but my overall vote goes to Hana.

Sophronia · 30/08/2017 13:03

Alma!

Amee1992x · 30/08/2017 13:07

Alma!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/08/2017 13:07

Livia White

Bubblesoup · 30/08/2017 13:08

Hana - but spelt Hannah or Hanna.
Otherwise, Alma.
Hope all goes well on Friday!

ShmooBooMoo · 30/08/2017 13:22

I quite like Livia but have you considered Alba? Take a look at why I'm suggesting it, esp under 'meaning & history of the nam Alba' bit :) :

www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/girl/alba

and:

nameberry.com/babyname/Alba

and:

I think Alba Anais White sounds nice.

I saw this about Anais:
In French its an-ay-ees with emphasis on the ees part, in Spanish its an-ice.

Also, Alba Hanae (pronounced han-eye, I believe). There is a japanese perfumer named Hanae Mori.
From Japanese 花 (hana) or 華 (hana), which both mean "flower", combined with 絵 (e) meaning "picture" or 恵 (e) meaning "favour, benefit".

Even Alba Livia Hana or Hanae White is really nice! Grin

AmyGardner · 30/08/2017 13:28

Alma is very old lady - to my mind, not cool old lady either!

I prefer Livia, but don't understand why you wouldn't use the proper name for it.

MammieBear · 30/08/2017 14:01

Alma White

SumAndSubstance · 30/08/2017 14:25

but have you considered Alba?
I don't really get why the OP would particularly want to call her daughter White White Confused
I like Hana best, though they are all nice names.

Leeela · 30/08/2017 14:26

Livia White Smile

Glumglowworm · 30/08/2017 15:48

Hana

HoratioNightboy · 30/08/2017 16:04

I love Livia but hate Olivia, and prefer it from your name list. But as you can see from this and previous threads where it's come up, people just assume it's a "unique"version of Olivia rather than a completely separate name. Clearly I, Claudius isn't on the curriculum any more!

I think Livia's niece was named Livilla after her. Would this be an option for you, OP?
