Looking for a musical girl's name as we are both musicians, have come up with:
Melody
Harmony
Lyric
Symphony (think this is a bit ott for us though)

What do you think and are there any others?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

BertrandRussell · 27/10/2016 07:25

Cecelia is the obvious choice.

albertcampionscat · 27/10/2016 07:21

It is a beautiful name...

BrollySmolly · 26/10/2016 23:06

Oh that's interesting Albert. We've just read Michael morpurgo's 'escape from shangri la and the main character is a violinist named Cecelia with the nickname Cessie.

albertcampionscat · 26/10/2016 16:06

Cecilia - patron saint of music.

I went to school with two sisters called Allegra and Stanza. Unfortunately they were both completely tone deaf. Their mother used to sit in the front row of the school carol concert and complain loudly about her DDs not having a solo.

PaulineFowlersGrowler · 26/10/2016 09:23

Minuet? Also known as Minnie

NerrSnerr · 26/10/2016 09:21

Elvis?

I know an Aria. I can't think of Harmony and Melody without thinking of the children's program in the 90s where they made a wish by rubbing a coin (but that's not a bad or well known thing!)

Pluto30 · 26/10/2016 09:20

Aria.

Coda's quite cool.

Marcipex · 26/10/2016 09:18

I always wanted twin girls that I could call Melody and Harmony.

For a singleton I'd choose Opera.
