I guess it reminds you of sheet music because of the use of the term "allegro".
It's not like I worry about a hypothetical daughter being doomed to depression or moodiness because of her name, I just imagine situations where it would look silly, like if someone says: "Oh, Allegra is having a depression bout again" or something.
Well, just now I was remembering that I visited a Jewish graveyard in Ferrara where the name came up regularly on the stones, and though for obvious reason, some of those women who lived in the 30s and 40s were probably not particularly cheerful or joyful, this didn't make the name didn't look weird or ironic.
