WDYTO Alba?
I'm beginning to really like the name Alba. It's very popular in Spain, but quite rare in the US.Do you think it's usable, or is it too heavily associated with Jessica Alba? If it's usable, know any good middle names?

How could you like it? I thought Jessica Alba was a whore...http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3367068&board=baby
I think Alba is kind of pretty, but in the US it would be too attatched to the actress. People might assume the girl was named after her, or the parents got the name from her. But since it's a legitimate forename (unlike Beckham) it wouldn't be a big deal.

She is. But it's her last name, and I usually associate a name negatively if it's a first name. Jessica has LOADS of other associations.
