Alba

[KateTTC123]

For both boy or girl. I know it seems to be more popular for girls but I think it sounds unisex

It's a cheap brand of electronics, isn't it?

And also a rather clunky sounding girls' name. I can't imagine it on a boy, it's not unisex.

As a boys name I love it.

It means Scotland. I think it sounds lovely

It does mean Scotland, but it's also a budget brand of electronics so I wouldn't.

I prefer Alma

Love for both girl or boy, id like to think more people recognise it as Scotland rather than tv make

It's used as a feminine form for white in Latin, usually in the naming of white flowers.

It means dawn in some languages

It means Scotland in Gaelic and sunrise in Spanish.

I like it for a girl.

I immediately thought of the cheap cassette player I had in the 80s. Sorry.

I also immediately think of the cheap hifi I had as a teen. Sorry.

Are you Scottish? Do you live in Scotland?

I’m not sure. I don’t think it sounds nice to say. I like the meaning, but what are you saying? That your dd is Scotland? And yes, I thought of my 80s cassette player too...

I am Scottish and I prefer scottish names. My ds is called Harris so I don't want another island name. I don't know the electronics company folk are talking about tbh

My first thought was the Time traveller’s wife.

I know an Alba and she’s Spanish.

I know a little one year old Alba! She's the only one I know, I think it's lovely. I live in Scotland where there is a sea of little Eilidh and Isla's and I think Alba is just that bit different.

It’s gorgeous and I think it’s going to be one of those really popular names soon.

How about
Alyth
Iona
Skye
Rona
Katrina
Shona

I know a little girl called alba, lovely name and very pretty

Hey OP! My DD was born in Scotland and I was so keen to have a Scottish name for her. DP wasn't so keen, but we compromised for a middle name. I loved the name Alba. In the end, sadly, we didn't go for it.
One word of caution though, even though people supported my choice of Alba, I found out loads of people actually didn't like it and associated it with the electronics, and a fair few of my Scottish friends didn't like it because it reminded them of BBC Alba thus the name of a tv channel and they didn't find it a baby name.

Personally, I still love it. I love it's various meanings too. Harris is a great name too and Harris and Alba seem nice together.

How about

Sholto
Struan

Morvern
Eilidh

I think Gareth Bales (ex Spurs) now Real Madrid's eldest DD is called Alba , so I've always thought of it as a (Welsh) girls name.

Has to be Hamish..

I'm Scottish and it just makes me think of cassette players and the welcome signs at Edinburgh airport.

I'd certainly assume it was a girl's name.
