It's pretty. Very "liquid" too - I don't know if that's a genuine linguistic distinction or just a colloquial one, but I've heard "liquid" names described as names where you don't need to move your mouth / lips much to say them. Alina has vowels, an L, and an N; and I can say it while barely moving my lips. This means there are no harsh sounds, but also means it can easily be slurred together (this happens to me with Aurora all the time). These used to actually be among my favorite names (I remember the long crush I had on Liliana), but as the years have gone by I've been drawn further to names that aren't so blatantly pretty and... tender.

I also think I prefer Aline (ay-LEEN) to Alina.
