Surname had two syllables and we can't decide between Elizabeth or Grace as a middle name. Thoughts please!

I was thinking Elizabeth before I opened your thread properly and saw your suggestions.

Lyla Jayne came to mind although I don't like the name Jayne which is strange.

Another one who opened thread thinking Grace!

Not a fan of Moss but hopefully Lyra is a little bit different from Lila and her daughter must be a teenager now?

Love that people are coming onto the thread with my choices in their head already.

Silver tongue ? Wink
I think Grace is lovely, in fact I think a lot of one syllable names would go - Faye, Paige, Faith etc

I don't like it when first name ends in a vowel and mn starts in a vowel, so if say Grace as it flows better.

Was my dd1 not Layla, Lyra would be on my list for baby number 2. The middle names we considered for Lyra (when naming dd1) were Grace, Celeste, Jade.

Grace flows much better although I prefer the name Elizabeth.

Lyra Faye, Lyra Catherine also nice.

I don't think Elizabeth goes- it feels like a mouthful. Lyra Grace is better but it still feels like there is a full stop in it when you say it. Lyra.Grace

I like Lyra Lucille. No full stop.

I want to say Lyra Belacqua as that's the first time I ever heard Lyra but I realise that's not very helpful! Out of your two I prefer Grace I think
