Lyra

[turquoiseamethyst]

Any opinions for DC3, due end of July? :)

My oh wanted lyra on the list of potential girls names. I veto'd it because of nicknames/bullying potential (liar lyra pants on fire type)

I know 8, yes 8 born since Christmas! It seems to be very 'now'.

Is that all? I know 22 born since Pancake Day!

That's nothing! When I was a child every girl in my class was called Lyra. (As were all the boys except three of them, all of whom were named Quillwort.)

Seriously, though; I'd suggest reading the His Dark Materials books. (This is no great deprivation as they're great.) Everyone is going to assume you were thinking of them, so you may as well make sure you're happy with that.

I think it's a lovely name.

I love it. It was one of the few names DH and I agreed on so it is DD2's name. We have never met another. I would prefer it not to become really popular but you can't control these things.

Is the person who knows 8 Lyra's born since Christmas a Midwife?

For the record I think it's a beautiful name. Am also a fan of the books !

I love it.

I love it! I'm a huge fan of the books and was torn between Lyra and Serafina..

(I didn't go with Lyra I would next time though!)
