Sibling for Melody

I have a Melody and pregnant with our second. Don’t know the sex yet so boys or girls name ideas welcome. I think boys name will be the most difficult for us.

Girls names I’m generally open minded on but don’t like the -ias (Olivia, Emilia, Sophia, etc.). Boys names we both really like Romeo and Leonardo, but I think they’re probably a bit much to lump a baby with.

We liked Melody because it’s pretty international, the meaning is special to us, and it’s a recognizable name but not extremely common. I like the 70s vibe.

I know people here will say Melody is chavvy or whatever but I really don’t care about that kind of thing. I would be open to pretty unusual names as we live/work in a very international community and hear all sorts. (I know a Twinkle and a Donatello, which I think are both great).

Love Melody!

Also love Valentina.

Some suggestions:

Girls
Ambrette - I went on a few tangents looking at names and thought this was unusual but a nice sound!
Madeleine
Joy
Joni

Boys
Reed
Austin
Ross
Sonny

Google took me to some interesting places looking at musical names, 70's names and I also looked at hippy names!

I taught a Melody who had a sister called Harmony.

There was a kids tv programme in the 90s called The Queen’s Nose and the sisters in that were Melody and Harmony

I love Austin but the US connection tarnishes it a bit at the moment for me. In a similar vein though we’ve had a few Maurice’s in the family who usually go by Mossie. French DP will probably veto but maybe he’ll warm to it if I add it to the list early on :)

I like Melody, it’s pretty & not too usual.

This may or may not be an issue but if you call the new baby River you’ll get a lot of questions about whether they’re both inspired by the Dr Who character River Song, aka Melody Pond.

My first thought was River because of the Dr Who connection! But me and DH are Dr who fans so it would make sense.

Cecilia is the patron saint of music so that would make a lovely pairing with Melody

Celia as a shortened version. I think it's quite international too

That's lovely. A link to Melody but not so obvious that it sounds like a joke

JMSA · 14/04/2026 18:33

I love the name Melody. If you had another girl, I would name her Jemima 💕

RegalDiamondMonster · 14/04/2026 19:14

NigellaDelia · 25/03/2026 18:24

Sorry, I've just remembered you said no names ending in ia ~ please ignore my suggestion

Maybe she could go for Cecily?

LilyLemonade · 14/04/2026 19:54

Melody is a pretty name. I like the slightly retro vibe.

Marnie

Leon
