We found out today we're having another little girl 🎉

She already got a big brother called Allegro and two big sisters - Rhapsody and Cadence.

Our only ideas so far are Harmony, Melody or Lyra.

One of the muses?

Calliope
Clio
Euterpe
Thalia
Melpomene
Terpsichore
Erato
Polyhymnia
Urania

Clio is the most normal name, but I did love a novel when I was little where the heroine was called Polyhymnia (NN Polly). Calliope and Thalia are nice too.

Carmen means "song" in Latin, and of course there's the opera.

Viola (as in the instrument)
Delphi (city of Apollo, god of music)
Lyra

Not on your list, but Aria seems to fit best. Melody is OK, too.
Aida
Isolde
Norma
Carmen
Euridice
Salome

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/10/2018 11:50

I like Melody, from your list.
Magnolia
Mimosa
Zipporah

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 10/10/2018 11:18

Cecilia
Clarissa
Lara

Icklepup · 10/10/2018 11:14

Minerva

Melody is my favourite from your list but think Octavia goes very well with your other names. I hate Lyra, all I see is Lycra when I look at it x

Peachbubble · 10/10/2018 09:29

I like Melody the best

DesperatelySeekingSnoozing · 10/10/2018 07:35

Cadence

LeeMiller · 10/10/2018 07:34

Amedea or Ludovica as a tribute to Mozart /Beethoven
Tosca
Melodia
Aria
Carmen
Cecilia

princ3ssconsuelabananahammock · 10/10/2018 07:15

Lyra is lovely xx Not a fan of the other 2

Eleanor90 · 10/10/2018 07:03

Calliope?

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 10/10/2018 05:36

(I should probably point out to you, OP, that the Norma post was almost certainly a gentle joke :) )

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 10/10/2018 05:35

Cantabile? (Except people will probably pronounce it Canta-bile). Tabby for short?

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 10/10/2018 05:33

Madrigal's lovely as a name, actually! Sounds quite unisex. :)

How about Clara, as in Schumann? And yy to Cecilia.

I've always liked Melody as a name.

Terpsichore, Euterpe and Polymnia are musical Muses.

AlliKaneErikson · 10/10/2018 01:32

Um, Concerto, Minuet, Giocoso (works with Allegro!!); others have said all of the sensible ones I can think of! What about Cecelia (as in St.?)

Sophronia · 10/10/2018 00:05

Melisma
Sonata
Aria
Sonatina
Symphony

LovelyBranches · 09/10/2018 23:58

Athena
Minerva

Both goddesses of music

Shadow1234 · 09/10/2018 23:45

Lyra ( lovely name) works well with your other childrens names.

Melody is ok, but not sure on Harmony.
