Suggestions please for a lovely middle name to go with Alba that flows 😍
Our surname is pretty flexi and only one syllable (so isn't a mouthful!)

I was thinking a one syllable name but I love the above suggestion of Louise. I like Jade

I’d go for a longer, more girly, middle name to balance out the short first and last (and so if she’s into longer names she can go by her second name). Gonna pretend for a moment your surname is Jones…

Alba Coralie Jones
Alba Olivia Jones
Alba Ellysetta Jones
Alba Katrina Jones
Alba Verity Jones
Alba Yolanda Jones
Alba Elizabeth Jones
Alba Cassia Jones
Alba Juliet Jones

Alba Simone Theodora

Not Rose/Grace/May so unbelievably boring and overused.

theduchessofspork · 12/11/2023 17:46

A family name is always good, otherwise something shortish and classic

Alba Katharine
Alba Beatrice
Alba Constance

or if you want something a bit jazzier

Alba Verity
Alba Vivienne
Alba Caroline

What you definitely don’t want is a middle name ending in ‘uh’ - Alba has enough a sounds

Sorry that's nonsense! Alba has enough sounds?? What on earth does that mean😂

TurqoiseJasper · 12/11/2023 18:24

Like Anna has enough a sounds? Odd

BitofaStramash · 12/11/2023 18:33

As you are using Alba what about another Scottish name to go with it.

SpicyPasta · 12/11/2023 18:36

I’ve met one Alba in my life and she was called Alba Maya (the May-uh pronunciation).

MaggieBsBoat · 12/11/2023 18:36

I’d go for another Scottish name as you’re naming her ‚Scotland‘. How about Alba Eilidh?

Alba Jean is sweet.

Anna has 2 syllables. Alba has three so yes, lots of a sounds.
