Lyra middle name

We've just found out we're having a girl and love the name Lyra. Dp is part Greek and works in astrophysics, and I loved the dark material books as a child, so it's pretty perfect. We're stuck on a middle name though. Surname is quite long (5 syllable) and double barralled, so looking for something quite short. Surname also starts with an 'ah' sound so looking for a name that does end with that sound.

We don't have any names that are meaningful or traditional within our families, but would love something which does have a meaning of some sort. As in, either the name itself has a nice meaning, or is the name of a significant woman from history/ science/ feminism. That kind of thing.

Sorry for the impossible challenge!
