Elise or Alba?

[aneliese]

As a middle name for Charlotte? Long ish surname and I'd love something less traditional to balance out Charlotte. Thank you

Elise. It’s a lovely name.

Lots of Albas about now, becoming popular if that bothers you. I don’t like the name at all. Elise is nice though and not heard of many.

Elise is beautiful

My daughter's middle name is Elise. I think it's lovely.

Charlotte Elise sounds beautiful together

I'm not keen on Alba.. Reminds me of peach melba! But it also works well

Elise definitely, Alba has a lovely meaning but I really don’t like the sound,Elise is a beautiful name

Elise

Alba as in the 1980's low grade electronic music systems?

It has to be no

Elise.

Alba sounds super trendy

Elise 💓

Alba doesn't flow with Charlotte.

Elise. Alba is a basic, cheap and cheerful electronics brand.

Charlotte Elise

Alba is the Gaelic name for Scotland with the ‘b’ making a ‘p’ sound - Alpa. Are you Scottish, op? (not that it matters! Just wondered)

Thanks everyone, I must be having a hormonal moment! I really love Elise and we considered it as a first name too, but the further along I get I keep coming up with 'braver' names e.g Aurora, Alba. I appreciate the middle name rarely gets used anyway. Grateful for your opinions.

Isn't Alba an electronic brand? I'm sure that's what my TV was as a kid.

@myredcardiganbob no not Scottish, although I do know of that meaning

Alba is a pretty awful name to saddle a child with.
