Daemon? Will? Asriel? Lee? Is there a Philip Pullman connection?

Or is there a pre-Euro currency theme? Frank? Drachma? Mark?

Marcus goes with Juliet not Lyra in my head.

Lyra goes with Bruno or Gideon

Lyra actually the name of a constellation so I would go with Ptolemy.

As someone seriously considering Lyra as an option for a girl - I had thought Max was a pretty good option for a boy.

I also thought Oliver was a strong contender for a boy - Ollie and Lyra? However that seems a bit confused as one is v unusual and the other incredibly common!!

Ahem, I have a Lyra, a Noah and a Kurt. And have probably just outed myself to anyone who knows me irl. The 4 letter thing was coincidental but quite pleasing.

Reality, I laughed too. But I am still a little hysterical after Prairie.
Seriously, though, my first reaction was Finn. Recireci, Lyrus, please.
