Lyra - Lycra, no!

I am partial to Leila and Laura as I have relatives named both. Lydia is beautiful. Where I live, Ligia is also used. Lyra is fantastic! I also adore the more common Lily.

There is also someone in the family with a Louis variation - phew, relatives really like L! - I also like Lewis and Landon.

Sorry but the name Lacey is just awful it really is.. I love all the other L names suggested here but please don't call your daughter Lacey!

How is Lyra pronounced? as it's spelt..Lie ra?

Onenerfwarfrombreakdown · 25/09/2016 01:39

Oh and I forgot Lucia! Beautiful name but, because I lived there for a while, I much prefer the Italian pronunciation (loo-chee-a) not loo-see-a.
