These are all very handsome.
I've always had a strong musical association with the name
Cecilia; there is a painting in my childhood home of a serene Saint
Cecilia sitting with her fingers poised on a keyboard and a little angel dropping flower petals around her hands. I used to stare at it and swear I could see her fingers moving.
So,
Cecilia always means grace and music to me, so it's an excellent choice if you want a musical name for your daughter.
I knew a boy in school, a brilliant pianist, with the beautiful middle name
Amadeo, after Mozart. I think given names might be a much more graceful, and almost as obvious, way to honor composers than surnames.
