"After the experience I've had with a child named Harmony, I'd never name one Angel."

The experience with the child named Harmony wasn't harmonious and therefor a child named Angel could be demonic!

Lol, I would infer that the person speaking had a set of experiences with a child named Harmony that was exceedingly, montrously, non-harmonious! Hence the desire to not somehow have a child just as utterly non-angelic and holding at least comically to the notion the person could make that happen by naming a child Angel someday.
Added:
Wide Awake's inference is certainly possible but requires a fair amount of extra material not in the actual sentence. It does not really address the question.

1) That the person has a child, or knows a child.
2) That the child is named Harmony.
3) Because there is a child, either the person who made the statement, or the parents has had sex before...
4) ...and pregnanancy resulted from this sex.
5) Since pregnancy has resulted, it is safe to assume the sex was heterosexual...
6) ...and no contraceptive was used, or the contraceptive failed
7) That people have made fun of the child's name, or the child has behaved conversely to the given name.
8) And it has negatively affected the person who has made the statement.
9) That he/she believes Harmony and Angel to have the same associative qualities (same catagory).
10) That the person who has made the statement believes one day he or she will have children, and thus have the possibility of naming the child.
11) That Angel is an unacceptable name...
12) ... as is Harmony, due to the bad experiences.

I would infer that someone either named their child or had an experience with a child named Harmony, and the child did not live up to the name, therefore they would only be asking for trouble by naming a child angel!

The experience with the child named Harmony was unharmonious and therefore naming a child Angel also result in the child being the opposite of the name.

That the parent/teacher saw or heard a child named Harmony being made fun of because of their name. This led them to decide that they would never name their child "Angel," so that similar meanness could be avoided.
Note that the question asked what I would infer, so my answer is not "wrong."

to me, its pretty much meaningless. the independent and subordinate clauses have nothing in common.
