I really like Serena - would you consider that for a first name? Otherwise I think I prefer Lucy.

Not particularly fond of the tomb raider, do you think that's an issue?
Mini, we really like Serena but as a mn for Lucy.

Lucy is better in my own opinion. Lara is also good but it should have a middle name.

Lara.
It’s the sort of name that makes me think of a smart capable girl. I wanted to use it, but I have boys instead.

Lara is lovely. For me Lucy is a bit twee, but not awful.

Not your request for a choice but have you thought of Lucille rather than Lucy ?

Lara is a bit 80s, but maybe I'm biased because I have a Lucy:)

Lucy Serena

Lara is mega-80s, like Tara or Lauren. I don’t like it at all.

I prefer Lucy. It seems quite unusual at the moment (in a good way). Lara seems too much like a lot of other names (Lola, Lyra etc.)

Lucy Serene, Lucy means light and the second name seems to resemble calmness to me.
