Classy and meaningful?

We are considering Allegra for DD1.. I play piano and I feel that the meaning of joyful and happy is lovely along with the musical ties. What do you think of Allegra?

Pretty name. Apparently is some kind of allergy medicine in the USA... I'm not sure how much that impacts you but I always see Americans bring that up.

I taught an Allegra, it's a beautiful name certainly classy and very uncommon.

Just to add, you asked if it's classy - yes, it is. Not my style, but I do consider it a classy, elegant name.

Personally I don't like it as it sounds very harsh to me, but I do like the meaning and the musical references. It's the 'gr' sound that doesn't appeal to me.
