I really like this name. I don't think I would ever use it on one of my "future children" because of the way people judge others. But, this is a great name. I'm thinking of naming my cat this and calling her by the nickname Sym.
I do like this name - especially the musical element of it. However, I don't think anyone could cope with this as a name, as it does seem a little pretentious, unless you are a fairy in a novel.

Hmm, I can somehow picture a family with kids named Melody, Harmony, and Symphony. Melody sounds sappy and like a corny soap name, Harmony sounds pretty, but somewhat wallflower-y and mousy, and Symphony sounds pompous and somewhat heavy and ''unnatural'' as a name.
That family would be mine. =) I love all 3 of those names so I couldn't choose just one! Symphony does sound a little odd, but I like odd names. Symphony has a ring to it, and it's unique.
I was shocked when I saw this name in the Top 1000. I can't picture it paired with a last name. It doesn't even sound like a name, even for a person who only goes by one name. Symphony is extremely over the top and ridiculous. What's wrong with normal musical-themed named like Melody, Shira, or Aria?
I don't like how it ends in phony. It's also too grand.

My name is Symphony. I love my name. I do get a lot of comments, most good but some are like "that's a weird name". My sister's name is Melody haha. I've got several nicknames, Symph, Symie, Funny, Sym. I've never met another Symphony in person but I have found some online. I think it's a good name and I like that it's unique and rare :)
