Inspired by the video game Eternal Sonata, in which every character and place is named after a musical term. (Incidentally, that game is why I have a couple Congrats to catch up on. I just finished it today, so I'll be doing that ASAP.)
I pulled all of these from a music dictionary. Some of these terms make better names than others, of course. I didn't bother separating them into genders because they're mostly pretty gender-neutral IMO. Just use them on whichever gender you prefer them on. :D Feel free to give nns, etc.

Go ahead and give them as many kids as you want, ages if you like, etc. :)
