Completely stuck. Pregmamt with DC4 and for the life of me cannot come up with a pretty girl's name we all like!!

Now DH is suggesting Lyra, and I go back and forth- sometimes I think I really like it, then I think it's either pretentious or too close to Lycra- disaster...

Thoughts,anyone?
Does anyone actually know a Lyra- apart from the one in the golden compass, obv. Does she get called Spandex a lot?

Personally, I find Lyra really hard to say. How about Lara?

I like it.

The Philip Pullman book from the Dark Materials series springs to mind. (Lyra's Oxford...)

I love the name, also love Lara and Laurel.

Sorry don't know how that happened.

Don't know a Lyra but have to confess I just misread it as Lycra. Thought it was a bit odd...

I really like Lyra.... how about a few alternatives. Would never have thought of Lycra though.
