Re: Sonnet, Minuet, Zimri, Reed and Harmony
in reply to a message by Joiya
Family permitting, if I get a black dog she'll be Sonnet, after Shakespeare's girlfriend the Dark Lady. So, yes, but not on a human. Minuet is silly bordering on stupid, Zimri is OK, Reed can pass as a surname and Harmony is trying much too hard.
I've encountered a couple of Allegra women, if you want an alternative!

Min, eh? Minette is good, and fabulous with Clarisse. Or - these are heavy Germanic but could work for you - Hermina and Wilhelmina. If you either love or don't mind Harry Potter, there's always everyone's favourite schoolwitch: Minerva.
Minette is lovely, but has a rather off-color usage in French slang that I don't care for. We have an equivalent English word, but ours relates to cats.
Minerva I adore, but DH does not.
Hermina is a bit to close to Hermione and Wilhelmina too Germanic. I did consider a more modern Willamina... and we also looked at Jasmine, Noemin, Carmina, Mindy, Araminta, Aamina, Thamina and Domino.
Plus Minnie Mouse was Minerva Mouse, so I love that connection even more.
