"Has a ring to it"

Question

I'm wondering if there is a phrase in Spanish that means something similar to "that has a nice ring to it." I know that's an English colloquialism and may not translate at all, but maybe there's something better than "suena bien."

Gracias!

Hmpf, I just set off my smoke detector by opening the oven and no, no suena bien - margaretbl, Jan 6, 2011

Well you know sonar actually means to ring, so while "sonar" in this case - suena bien or me suena bien means "sounds good, sounds good to me" I can also see it meaning, rings good, or has a nice ring. But then I really don't know and I'm just answering because I need some votes. So pay me no mind. Gracias.

The first thing that comes to mind is "suena bien", which you'll probably find too plain, but it seems to be the most commonly used expression everywhere. Other alternatives could be "Pues queda/suena muy bien/bonito" or "Pues tiene su encanto".

You would say " me parece bien" suena bien is an anglocismo. -- Forget this. I read the question incorrectly. Lo siento
