Middle name Yvonne. Surname 3 syllables, begins with an M.

Older children Alex (Alexander), Josie (Josephine), Ione, Amelie, and Maebh.

Baby now 9 days old but no-one can agree on a name!!!!

Is Lyra a made up name? I want to like it as I usually like those sort of L names but it just doesn't feel like a real name!

Zoe is my favourite but is a bit clunky with Yvonne. I'm not a fan of Lyra at all. Hope is quite nice and goes the best with Yvonne of the three.

I like Lyra. I have never heard it before but I think it’s pretty. And wouldn’t be common

Icklepickle101 · 01/04/2018 08:49

I’m a Zoe and I hate it. Lyra is pretty

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/04/2018 08:46

Lyra or Zoey

Dislike Hope

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 01/04/2018 08:16

Hope is the only name I like from your list. Congrats on your new DD!

NotAgainYoda · 01/04/2018 08:14

Lyra or Hope

disappearingninepatch · 01/04/2018 07:46

Like Lyra, prefer Lyria. I know a lovely lady with this name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/04/2018 06:41

Zoe Yvonne.

Zwan · 01/04/2018 03:49

I love Lyra but it's a mouthful with Yvonne... Hope is sweet and goes well. I feel Zoe is a bit popular now.

Others to consider: Zelda, Camilla, Summer.

Sophronia · 01/04/2018 03:30

Zoe

AnyaMoondial · 01/04/2018 02:26

I can see why you're stuck! All really lovely but in very different ways.

Hope is my favourite.

Thebirthdayparty · 01/04/2018 02:15

Hope is really nice. Zoe too. I’m not a fan of Lyra.

PinkCrystal · 01/04/2018 02:11

Hope and Zoe both lovely

Shipshapeit · 01/04/2018 01:30

Zoe is lovely.
Hope is ok.
Don’t like Lyra at all. Sounds like headloce cream.

stellinaa · 01/04/2018 01:23

All gorgeous names but I think Zoe would fit the best, much prefer the spelling Zoey though personally. Hope seems a little plain/common relative to your other kids names imo.

windchimesabotage · 01/04/2018 01:13

Lyra is beautiful id go with that personally!

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2018 01:11

All lovely names. I'd choose Zoe.

SprogletsMum · 01/04/2018 01:10

Definitely Lyra it's a gorgeous name, I wanted to use it from when I read the books but dp didn't like it.

xLeanne128 · 01/04/2018 01:07

I like hope think zoe is boring and I know a few and their boring not nice people. Never heard of lyra seems abit bizzare and reminds me of lycra but suppose family members would get used to it x
