Girls names with a musical theme ie Allegra suggestions please

[octaviarose]

We would love a middle name that could reflect a musical connection as a tribute to a beloved Grandfather who is a professional musician.
Does anyone have any good suggestions? We are thinking of Allegra.

weemumbelina :o Accidental!!! Sharp? Flat? Repeat...

I was thinking that there are some beautiful operas you could take inspiration from, OP. What kind of music did your grandfather play?

Vibrato ... no, maybe not :o

Chorale

I don't suppose you're having twins?

Because if you were, you could have Acciaccatura and Appoggiatura; settling for Grace instead just wouldn't have the same impact.

Tarantella? (nn Tara)
Fantasia?

But seriously, I came on to say Cecilia as someone already said, patron saint of music. And a lovely name in its own right.

Was desperately hopeful for twins at the scan but sadly not this time! But yes meditrina those would be fab names!

Grandfather is a concert pianist so classical really but plays a ridiculous amount of other instruments so not really limited to the classical genre.

Johanna (as in Bach, also slang for piano)

Grace (as in grace note)
Sonata
Calandra ("skylark")
Neima ("melody")
Carmen
Carmina
Zamira ("good voice")
Carol
Partita
Chantal
Lyra
Mavis ("song thrush")
Serenata
Serenade
Concertina
Jazz (short for Jasmine)
Philomela ("lover of music")
Odela ("song")
Shiri ("my song")
Rena ("melody")
Cadence
Carillon
Chaconne
Isolde
Mimi/Lucia

You could just raid the Italian language, since those are all the words used to describe the ways the composer intends for the music to be played. But to anyone not in the know, they'd just think you were using a random noun or verb!

Is she a first-born? Or first girl? What about Prima... Or some of the other more commonly used terms which have nice or lively or interesting meanings...
Vivace
Brio
Dolce

Or did he have a favourite opera? Loads of character names to choose from there.

Rhapsody

Female composers:
Sappho
Kassia
Castelloza

Musical terms:
A cappella
Arioso
Issimmo
Marcia
Sonatine

viola

There are rumoured to be sisters somewhere called Dodo, Rere, Mimi, Lala and Soso, if that helps... don't know if they got as far as Octavia.

or how about Clara-Nette?

I even did an accent, you know.

I know a French Canadian girl called Chantal...

Tosca
Melba
Olympia

Love Lyra and Lyric!

Embarrassed face emoticon.
My DD was messing about - I didn't realise she'd actually SENT the message.
I hope you get some inspiration from some of the other lovely suggestions.
(At least my DD didn't come up with Dee.
Or Bea!)
Sorry.

I am sorry but you can't really call a child Allegra

Helpyourself -- there, there, I really like Cecilia (but not Beyonce with or without the accent. Can't remember how you do those).

Of course you can call a child Allegra! It's a fairly well known and established name.

I copied and pasted it from my hotmail account, where I have a friend called Therese with accents going both ways. Then I had to delete the rest of the name and add Beyonc to it.

Ah, that's how you do it.

What's wrong with Allegra, cumbria ?

DoubleGlazing! the latin for song thrush is not Mavis, it's Turdus Philomenus!!

cecilia is gorgeous.
