Viacom Inc. registered an "Allegra" trademark for computer programs in
Germany (and probably the U.S.).  So it wouldn't be a good idea to use
this name. "Alba" is registered an Germany, too (it's the name of a
company, I think it has got to do with gherkins, but there's also a
registration for computer programs).  "Medora" is not available,
either (specifically registered for computer programs).  "Annabella"
is still available.
