Musical themed name for baby girl??

I am prepped for some of you to think it’s silly and hate it, but we have given our kids musical themed names.

DD is named after a Fleetwood Mac song, DS is named after the front man of our favourite band, so it’s not super obvious. Sometimes when DD tells people her name people will say “oh does your mummy like Fleetwood Mac then?” but also I look like I like Fleetwood Mac… wanna be Stevie Nicks vibes. No one has mentioned DS’s name, apart from my family and friends.

I did say we could name her after the other Fleetwood Mac song that’s a girls name… but DP said that’s too much Fleetwood Mac. I kind of get him.

So far some contenders are - Layla, Annie (he really likes this because Annie Lenox and he’s Scottish), I really liked Rosemary but my niece told me that song has recently become a tik tok trend and I don’t want people thinking I named my baby after a tik tok trend.

I’m open to any suggestions though, I really thought she was a boy so we slacked on girls names.

Clara as in Clara Schumann
Rachel for Rachel Unthank (just been listening to Magpie which sends shivers down my spine in a good way)
Aja because I’ll never stop loving Steely Dan

Don't do Annie " Annie, I'm not your daddy. If you had me in your blood, then you wouldn't be so ugly"
Such cruel lyrics

There's Annie's Song by John Denver too

If you like Melodie but not Mel what about Elodie (not musical I know but think it's lovely!)

Maybe go for a more classical name that is less of a give away that it is musical? Viola, Allegra, Celeste, Cecilia, Cora (after the chorus in Greek plays), Melody, Aria/Arietta, Vivace

Layla is nice. I’d go with that.
