DD2 is due in a few weeks. We are down to 2 names. DD1 is called Anoushka.

So, Lyra or Holly?

(DH and I are both fans of His Dark Materials btw)

I like them both, I think I'd go for Lyra.

Holly

Lyra I think although like both.

I like Holly better in absolute terms but I think I like Lyra better with Anoushka. They're both a bit unusual, whereas Holly is more mainstream.

Lyra

Lyra. Holly is nice but a bit blah next to Anoushka.

Holly. I don't like Lyra but I love Lyla. Aren't name preferences weird?

Lyra.
