Classical music / operatic names

Girl Names
1

Hello! I’m hoping some [name]Berry[/name] out there is a classical music / opera buff that can help me think of some musical names. I love classical music, and I’ve been listening to a lot of operas lately, but I still consider myself a fan-in-training. I’m looking for names that are more word/title/title character, less composer, although I’m certainly not opposed to composers, but I’m thinking of girls here…

Anyway, this is all I have come up with so far:

[name]Aria[/name]
[name]Elise[/name] (as in fur [name]Elise[/name])
[name]Sylvia[/name] (the ballet composed by [name]Leo[/name] Delibes)
[name]Isolde[/name] ([name]Wagner[/name]'s [name]Tristan[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name])

Any useable, not too obscure suggestions to add to my list?
Thank you!

Ach! I love this idea! I grew up playing the piano, learning classical pieces and such, so I would be just tickled pink to meet such a perfectly named family!

My first ideas were [name]Odette[/name] (Swan [name]Lake[/name]) and [name]Aida[/name] (the opera by [name]Verdi[/name]). [name]Elise[/name] is a very cool option, I really love it! For boys, I would squeeze [name]Amadeus[/name] (for [name]Mozart[/name]) and Figaro (for The Marriage of Figaro) in there if I possibly could. And if I were brave enough, I might try and get away with [name]Sonata[/name] (especially for the Moonlight [name]Sonata[/name]) as a MN if at all possible!

I’m sure there are other great options, those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I think Berlioz could be a cool MN, too, for a boy. :slight_smile:

ETA: I also love Clara, and how cute would Leo and Clara be together? Not only do you get the Robert and Clara Schumann association, but also Clara of The Nutcraker!

Good luck!
