Middle name help - OH wants it to be some kind of 'musical' name?

I'm 31 weeks pregnant with a little girl - first name will probably be Cleo, but need middle name help.

My OH completely loves music and wants a middle name that means something connected to music/lyrics/sound, and we can't come up with anything not too odd. At the moment the contenders are Lyra or Sonata, but not really convinced by either. Any help much appreciated!

Calliope and Calypso are good. Cadence, Harmony, Melody, Lyric and Rhythm are options.

You could also translate words, for example:

Cerddoriaeth (pronounced Kerth-oree-eyeth) means music in Welsh
Musique means music in French

You could also name your child 'after' a singer. Marina & The Diamonds is my favourite Welsh singer and her name is fab, which is where my youngest's name comes from.

I'm not very good at any other languages besides English and Welsh, so I can't help you out very much, but Google Translate could do the job.

Look up Kora on YouTube - it's an African instrument that makes the most beautiful music.

We had Nico (Velevet Undeground) and Marianne (Faithfull) on our short list for DC3 - 60s rock chic?

Operatic characters - Dido? Poppaea?
