Lyra's sibling is called...

36 weeks pregnant and the sex of the baby is a surprise.

For a boy we love Harry and that will be his name.

Girls is the struggle. We can't have/don't want another L name, which rules out names we like such as Lilian. Our surname is also a colour, so we don't want a flower or gem.

Don't like anything too twee or floral sounding. Would like something feminine and strong, like Lyra....

Names we like but won't use:
Lilian
Ruby
Charlotte
Sienna
Violet
Harper

Names we like and might potentially use:
Bridget (Bridie)
Nina
Harriet (Hattie)
Eloise

If anyone has any other suggestions please give me your thoughts!

Love Elizabeth but can't have as it's my daughter's middle name.

Can't have Joanna for another reason.

Don't love Edwina or Davina- sorry!

Nina is lovely! I also really like Hattie.

Heidi?

My first choice is Nina and my husbands is Hattie 😂

I love Harriet/Hattie but my weird worry is our top choices are Harry for a boy and Harriet for a girl. Which feels very unimaginative.

Heidi I really like ...

Ooh never heard of Hester. I like it, but I feel like it could get confused with Esther...

Nina and Eloise are gorgeous. Lyra always reminds me of a lyre and therefore of classical Greece, so I'd go with something like Calliope (nn Cally), Cassandra (nn Cassie), etc. My favourite is Artemis but that might be a bit out there!

I love Nina.

I think these fit your style, and are lovely
