Now, now. We also got Neal and Alexandra.

However, I wouldn't mind a Melody from Ariel. Besides being a name from a Disney Sequel (which I agree that Disney Sequel's have no place on OUAT), it is really just a good name (We considered using Melody for one of our kids).

I understood why they named the baby Neal (in honor of a dead hero), but it was odd considering said hero was their daughter's baby daddy. And yes, Alexandra is fine (I have to like it since my own full name is Alexander, as people may have figured from my username), but still I feel like the names could be a little more inspired. I like Melody as a name as well, and I especially like it for a mermaid's daughter, as mermaids are traditionally known for their beautiful singing voice (which is probably why Disney chose it).

Not to mention Ariel is so intrinsically linked to music and singing, that her having a daughter named Melody makes sense.
