Well, you already know I like Minuet. It's so cute and elegant at teh same time. It also reminds me of Minaret, a "name" I thought was just the grestest idea ever. I was studying Islamic art at the time. Also Minaret reminds me of Spinnaret, another great word. So Minuet-Minaret-Spinneret, it's allll gooood.
I do think of a car when I see Sonata. Darn those car companies taking the good words! What about another fun music word, like Crescendo, or Fugue, or Cadenza, or Etude! Ooooh, Minuet and Etude.
Minuet makes me want to pair it with similarly dainty names; like a name en pointe, like
Minuet
FrancineMinuet
BernadineMinuet
ClariceMinuet
LiselotteMinuet
VeroniqueMinuet
MelisandeMinuet
