Lara

Lena

I’ve only ever known one, many years ago. Beautiful name. Agree it’s pronounced Leena.

Lara or Laura.

I really don't like Luna, for two reasons, one, loony Luna in Harry Potter still looms large, and I can't hear the name Luna without thinking loony, and two, my friend has a dog called Luna. Who is indeed a loony.

I love Lyra, so cute. Never met one and I go to loads of toddler groups.

DobbysLeftSock · 02/04/2019 20:07

1.Lena (pronounced with a long 'ee' sound).

  1. Luna (but yes, v. v. popular and I think it will date - but so do a lot of names!)
  1. Lara. Nice but a litle plain?
  1. Lily. Too many them!

I heard lisa today and thought it a lovely name not used nearly enough anymore

DramaAlpaca · 02/04/2019 20:00

Lara or Lily

missmouse101 · 02/04/2019 19:59

Lara is lovely. Luna is awful (Loony/loon) , Lily is over-popular and Lena sounds weird (Leaner/Lean)

Carolcool · 02/04/2019 19:55

Lena or Lara.

Lily is much to popular and Luna is too Harry Potter and too current, will date.

ApolloandDaphne · 02/04/2019 19:50

Lara

Calzone · 02/04/2019 19:47

Luna

Oh Luna was my favourite.. do you really think it will date?

Lena I think has risen also because of I think Zara tindells daughter. But I like it pronounced leena not Layna.

Luna

SleepingSloth · 02/04/2019 19:21

I like Lily and Lara equally.

toptomatoes · 02/04/2019 19:05

Lara

Happyandglorious · 02/04/2019 19:01

Lily

SerenaVanDerWoodsen · 02/04/2019 18:47

Lara

I like Lily but it is very popular

MissBPotter · 02/04/2019 18:47

Lara.

Also like Lydia and Laura.

NunoGoncalves · 02/04/2019 18:46

Luna is on a meteoric rise right now it seems:
names.darkgreener.com/#luna

So I would probably avoid that. Likely to date quite badly in the future.

jcq17 · 02/04/2019 18:44

Lara

Lokidokiartichoki · 02/04/2019 18:43

Lily. It’s beautiful.
