Which one do you prefer and why? Also, can you see any obvious nicknames/shortening people might use?

I like in this order

Lara is the only one I like.

Definitely Lara.

Lara, closely followed by Lyra

Lara. Because with all the l...a names this is the easiest, least confused one to say.

Lyra is not as established and might be confused with Lila, layla.

Lyra. The heroine of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights books, which are awesome!

I love Lyra or how about Lila or Lyla?

Don't like Lyra. I think Lana is my favourite, might get nn Lani.

Lyra because it is an interesting character, a constellation and a musical instrument. Lara makes me think of Tomb Raider. Is Lana a real name?

I like Lyra, it reminds me of Northern Lights.

All lovely, but I would go for Lara. Lyra is too much like Lycra and Lana spells anal backwards.

I like Lara. Lyra is too much like lycra and with Lana everyone will presume your daughter is named after Lana del Rey.
