Blossom or Lyra?

[MilkybarMars]

We have liked both names for a while... Lyra from the Pullman books and Blossom from a song we both like. Now not sure what to do as this is baby number 4 and definitely the last!

Do you know any Blossom's or Lyra's? Do you think they are popular names? Advice on them appreciated. Thanks!

Lyra! Blossom is definitely more of a cow's name, sorry.

Lyra, preferably, just. Would you like to be called Blossom yourself, seriously? It's so fluffy and weak-sounding.

MarjorySunshineDust Hahaha - I'm not at all up to speed with these new fangled ponies

I think Lyra is a lovely name. Congrats!

Blossom for some reason makes me think of Bosoms and cows

I read it as Bosom at first. Not good

Love Lyra.

But on first glance I saw Lycra sorry off to get eyes tested......

Really like Lyra. Lyra Blossom !

I agree with others. Lyra gets my vote.

Blossom sounds like a dairy cow - just dreadful for a human child.
So Lyra then.

Blossom is a stripper name - sorry

Both awful.

Lyra just sounds like Lycra???

Lyra. Definitely not Blossom . What about Lilah?

Unless your child is a Boston Terrier, do not name them Blossom. It's hideous.

Lyra by default.

Lyra!
Blossom is the name of a pony.

Blossom always reminds me of bosom too. It is quite an ugly sounding word. The actor that played little Mo called her baby Blossom.

Lyra

Lyra is a gorgeous name. I know it didn't get much love on a previous thread, but it is beautiful.

Blossom is bloody awful

Blossom sounds fat to me.
And maybe a bit too redolent of Bosom and Bottom!

Lyra (I have a little Lyra). On every Lyra thread at least one poster says 'sounds like lycra'. If there's a thread discussing the name Lyra I have to read it until I see that comment, something strangely comforting about it.

I like Lyra because it's like lyre. I like Blossom because 80s show.
The pretty, fiesty girl who plays Jamillah in cbbc Jamillah and Aladdin is a Blossom.

I love Lyra, it was on my girls list but we got a boy so will never have to hear my family's opinion on Lyra I'm thinking it wouldn't go down too well, they are very traditional and easily confused.

I can't honestly say I like Blossom. Fleur and Flora are nicer.

I would like Lyra if it wasn't so close to liar. I guess it works better in other languages.

Flora is a beautiful name. :)

Lyra, it's unusual without being "weird" and is also the name of a MLP :-)
