While your newborn baby girl's cries may not exactly sound like a bird's song, she may just grow into quite the musical talent if you name her Alondra. Pronounced "a-LON-dra," Behind the Name notes that this moniker means "lark" and, while it's not very popular in the U.S., it sees a fair amount of use in Latin America.

Alondra is a name that many parents might like purely for how beautiful it sounds, but it's also a good pick for those who are nature lovers or those who want to give their baby girl a musical name. In fact, it seems other parents have picked the name precisely because of its musical qualities, and the name just may have influenced their baby girls. Per The Bump, Alondra is the given name of quite a few musical people including Alondra, a Mexican singer whose pipes have garnered her a Grammy nod, and Alondra De La Perra, a conductor.

Telenovela fans might also remember the 1995 series "Alondra," a Mexican show which helped boost the popularity of the name decades ago.
