Can I blame the pregnancy hormones? :o. I've loved Melody for years so was a bit Shock when I found that we need a 2nd girls name!!!!

DP told me Harmony was horrid but a little bit of me disagreed. But I do see tht 'Harm' as a nickname isnt very nice.

So how about Melody and Calypso (nn Callie). Is that less twee?

also like Romilly and Liberty from the other suggestions. Do they fit with Melody.

I also am tempted by Felicity and Verity which surprises me as these are names I have never considered.

I don't like Calypso. It reminds me of the drink too.

I like Felicity and Verity (obviously). I think Felicity would probably go better. Melody and Verity rhyme.

I don't like Romilly either. It looks and sounds made up to me, or like a word - 'Melody laughed romilly'.

I do like Liberty, but I think it's more of a celeb name only stalkers followers would use.

Felicity, Harmony, Verity, Romilly, Liberty, Calypso, in that order.

If you want Callie, Calliope or Calantha/Calandra. I'm not sure it's a great idea, in case they're both terrible at music, but how about Melody and Aria?

Calliope
Romilly
Romola

Whatever you choose, will you always say A and B?

Or will you sometimes say B and A?

Might give B a complex.

Melody and Calypso is WORSE than Melody and Harmony!

OiMissus · 17/06/2011 18:42

Avoid matching the names.

Or call 'em Fish and Chips.
Chas n Dave...?

sorry, giddy friday mood.
Melody is a lovely name, btw, and I like the others you propose - but not Calypso. sorry.

I may be showing my age here but Calypso just makes me think of the drinks that came in a covered plastic cup with a red straw..

I like Romilly though

ItsNotRocketSurgery · 17/06/2011 18:32

Felicity and Verity are posh birds with wavy hair who never just waslk, they sashay around.

manicinsomniac · 17/06/2011 18:25

My favourites from your selection are Felicity and Calypso.

RitaMorgan · 17/06/2011 18:12

I think Liberty and Verity would be lovely!

Hullygully · 17/06/2011 18:09

Ebony and Ivory?

PaperView · 17/06/2011 18:08

What if Melody can't play an instrument or carry a tune? It's just cruel!

belgo · 17/06/2011 18:08

Felicity
Verity
Romilly

are all lovely; the others are far too twee.
