Help[Opinions] Musetta
Musetta has been going through my mind lately. What do you think of it? Wondering why I googled it. Musetta is a character in "La Boheme," so at least I feel better that it's a legitimate (?) name.
Alternately, how about Musette? Playing piano growing up I used to have to memorize musettes (by Bach?) and the word always sounded sweet to me.
I wouldn't use either one for a fn. But they could make "off the beaten path" mns. Can you think of any combinations, either mn or even fn if you think it could work? I was thinking of Isidora Musette, but I haven't put a lot of thought into it yet.

As a French person I find Musette ridiculous as a name... sorry...

I adore Musette...Musetta is nice, but I prefer the 'ette' ending without the 'a'.
One of the combos on my list is Sylvia Musette.

Thanks! I love:
Sylvie Musette
Galia Musette (although Galia Musetta rings truer to my ear)
Musette Dominique
Musetta Josephine (this sounds like it really could be the 19th century, Parisian character's mn from the opera)
And darned if Lilac Musette doesn't seem to work together. I didn't think I'd ever like Lilac with anything. You're good. :-)

I can't say I love either one, but I could either one as a mn, perhaps. The "mew" sound is just a bit unattractive to my ears, I think.
Along the lines of Musetta/Musette, though, I did once work with a very sassy African-American woman named Muszedty, pron. mew-ZET-tee. People often pronounced like Musetta, but it was just so dang confusing. I asked her once about the spelling and she just rolled her eyes and said 'I don't have any idea what my mother was thinking, either.' :b

They sound like eithe rrich dishes with a lot of cream and eggs, or else cartoon cats. Felina de Musette, Princess of Pantheraland.

A musette is a type of bagpipe. I don't think I would want to be named after one. I don't know if Musetta is related to that or not.
A musette is also an air or dance written for the musette (bagpipe), like the ones written by Bach.

Yes, thank you. My google search led me to Wikipedia and I did read about the history of musette.
I hadn't thought about naming a child after a bagpipe. When you put it like that it does sound rather silly. :-) I was thinking more along the lines of the musical pieces I played on the piano. Somehow that reference sounds more palatable.
But it's all academic anyway. I'm not seriously thinking of using either name. I just thought others might like them and was interested in hypothetical combinations.
Thanks for the input!
