Melody and......

[SpaceDinosaur]

We have a Melody. We're looking for a girls name. We have a boy name (Barnaby) but are struggling for a girl's name and we won't find out until baby's born!

We actively don't want Harmony, Aria or any other obvious musical name.

We like less usual names. I teach so all the popular names I have met babies and children with those names, they're "taken" in my mind.

Other than that.... any suggestions please?

Catherine
Beatrice
Sindy

Grace was the name that came to mind

Cadence was the first that came to mind but then I saw that you don’t want a musical name.

Lara

Cecilia. It's nice with Melody but not obviously musical.

(Actually the first thing that came to mind was 'Melody and Tiffany' but I don't know why, other than I watched Eastenders earlier and it must have sent me over the edge.)

Berenice
Rowena
Amaryllis

Felicity
Harriet
Jemima
Primrose
Isadora
Imogen
Willow
Agnes
Sally
Hero

The first name I thought of was Belle and then I realised why, so as you’re not looking for a theme, probably not that.

Paige was my second thought, no idea why, they sound nice together though. So does Poppy.

Bethany
Briony

or if you want to avoid another B then

Cecily
Emily
Verity

I also like Aurelie (golden) Marina Margot Celeste Lauren Lydia

Being silly here & Buffy fans will get it but how about Harmony which you can change to Cacophony for both of them if they can't sing....
Love the name Melody, hope you find your happy match - good luck!

Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie (Ottie)
Cora
Eliza (too popular?)
River

I was going to suggest Romilly but then you’d have 3 names ending in Y and I think it’d sound better to have one without. So how about..
