I love it. I knew an Alina in elementary and I always loved the sound of her name, and it suited her so well.
It's a nice name that is neither too ostentatious nor too plain.

I find it really sweet - it's a name that's fairly common where I'm from, and it has a special way of coming off as delicate yet strong. I think any namesake would end up being a badass, lol :).
sorry dont like it
I'm sorry, it's always felt really unsubstantial for me, like someone just combined three pleasing syllables. It doesn't seem have a strong meaning or history. I even met an Alina and I didn't care much for it. It's not terrible, just not my taste.
I much prefer Lina. I've met a Lina with Persian heritage and she wore her name proudly. Her sister was Aliza, which I love even more, and I would consider using myself.
I also have a soft spot for Halina, since I'm part Polish. I think it's sweet.

It sounds and looks so pretty. Similar as Amelia but more original without being too out there.
Might be OK as a nn, but as a full name it seems limp and flimsy.
I admire it as well. I think it's such a stunning and beautiful name. It's also different and fresh, an underused gem of a name. I first came across it while reading the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo a couple of years back. (Anyone else ever read it?) and fell in love with the name ever since. (: Alina Starkov was her name and was the main protagonist.
