Esmee or Iris. I'm not keen on Iona.

Luna

squoosh · 05/05/2013 21:37

Iris or Lyra. I dislike Iona greatly.

mummybare · 05/05/2013 21:33

I think Iris is beautiful.

I have a friend with daughters with two of your names. Her third daughter is Vida.

Iona, Esme and Luna....all very gorgeous and uncommon and dreamy/elegant. Lyra...nah, too like Lycra or Liar. And Iris, is rather sharp, and horrid and overused in my opinion.

KitNCaboodle · 05/05/2013 18:18

Iris for me

Still18atheart · 05/05/2013 16:55

In order of preference

Iona - favourite
Esme - yes
Iris - yes
Luna - It's ok
Lyra - no lycra

Although on second thoughts I can see the potential for teasing and cries of 'Loonie' so I'm changing my mind to Iris.

Kaekae · 05/05/2013 16:42

Iris for me. :)

TheRealFellatio · 05/05/2013 16:41

Not wild about Lyra but I love all the rest. I'd go for Luna.

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/05/2013 16:36

Lyra is lovely.

HeffalumpTheFlump · 05/05/2013 16:23

I love Lyra :)

Eskino · 05/05/2013 15:37

Iris or Lyra too.

I had them both on our shortlist. In the end we chose the only name we felt surpassed those two. I think I would go for Lyra actually.

CreatureRetorts · 05/05/2013 15:22

Iris or Lyra.

Say them out loud in full.

LittleDirewolfBitJoffrey · 05/05/2013 15:19

Luna. Is the most interesting.

Essexgirlupnorth · 05/05/2013 15:16

Like all of them apart from Luna. Lyra is on my list for a girl.

drinkyourmilk · 05/05/2013 15:06

Love iris

MummyBurrows · 05/05/2013 15:05

Luna or Esme get my vote (regardless of whether its ez-mee or ez-may you want) :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/05/2013 14:35

Lyra or Esme. Don't like Iona much.

StrangeGlue · 05/05/2013 14:33

Iris or esme

DoodleAlley · 05/05/2013 14:24

Luna sounds a shade too close to looney in my book but kids will always find a reason to mock so if you like it go with it
