Harpic 😂😂😂

Well out of those two Harmony is an actual name so I would use that. Harmonica is a strange choice, might as well call her French Horn or Clarinet.
If you're after a musical name what about Allegra? Aria?Melody?

Isn't harmony some sort of pregnancy or ovulation test?
Harmonica is just ...

Sorry OP. I think we owe it to our children to choose names that they can live with comfortably.

Harmonica? Why not Harpsichord or Piano? Poor child

Ploughingthrough · 15/03/2021 12:45

Harmony Test is pre natal screening

I’m quite liking Kazoo.

There's no fucking way you're thinking of calling your kid harmonica.

Kitkat151 · 15/03/2021 12:46

Harmonica? Are you taking the piss??

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/03/2021 12:47

I can't believe Harpy was suggested as an alternative Confused

NameChangedForThisFeb21 · 15/03/2021 12:47

This is a joke right?

No one in their right mind would name their child HARMONICA. It’s a mouth organ.

I really feel sorry for people who work in the name registration process.

CattyCactus · 15/03/2021 12:47

Neither.
One is a musical instrument the other is a hair dye.

Regularsizedrudy · 15/03/2021 12:48

Tambourine?

DeRigueurMortis · 15/03/2021 12:51

It's a bit like asking shall I call my boy Lister or Listerine?

Clarice99 · 15/03/2021 12:57

This thread is hilarious Grin Grin Grin

Harmonica vs Harmony. A musical instrument vs hairspray. Definitely neither.

Hopefully, for the child's sake, it's back to the drawing board for the OP!

Harmony = hair spray.
Harmonica = mouth organ.

If you want your DC to endure a lifetime of leg-pulling about their name go ahead!

DogsAreShit · 15/03/2021 13:08

I think they're lovely names OP.

Harmony.

Harmonica is a musical instrument.

DogsAreShit · 15/03/2021 13:09

Although really if you want to keep up to date it should be eHarmony.

Crosstrainer · 15/03/2021 13:11

The problem with Harmony is that it sounds like a mispronunciation of Hermione.

Nightbear · 15/03/2021 13:13

Birth control or mouth organ? OK

HasaDigaEebowai · 15/03/2021 13:13

To be fair if you went with harmony then harmonica is quite a cute nickname

Odile13 · 15/03/2021 13:13

The teen couple in the sitcom Superstore call their baby Harmonica - it’s funny because they’re both a bit clueless.

Harmony is definitely the way to go!

MuddleMoo · 15/03/2021 13:14

Harmony

idontlikealdi · 15/03/2021 13:26

You cannot call your child Harmonica. You couldn't call a pet Harmonica FFS.
