If you had to pick a name that you would immediately consider 'beautiful' on hearing it, what would it be?

Like "Melody", isn't it?

Ah, this thread is making me very jealous. I only have boys and there is just not the scope for beautiful names there!

Evaine.

In one of the earliest tales of Lancelot of the Lake, she was his mother, a queen. And her husband died and her son was abducted she went into convent and devoted her life to prayer despite being young and beautiful.

When asked why, years later, she responded that when she married her husband their souls became one, so she prayed for his soul as much as her own.

A bit over-romantic, but still a pretty sentiment.
