Does this sound silly to you?

Currently expecting first baby with my partner. I have two older children and he has 1.
We love the name
Lyla Iris
Lots of people have liked it but great grandma hates it

Love it.

Bit tongue twistery to be honest.
I'm saying Lyra Ilis and Lila Ilis.
However if you're only going to call her Lyra day to day. I don't suppose it matters, really.

She said it was too different never thought of it as hard to say.
They're both significant meaningful names to
Me and other half

It’s fine.

I also think it's a bit tongue twistery but both lovely names.

Lyla and Iris are far from different.
Im tripping over them,

I've known an Iris and a couple of Lila's, they aren't "out there" names. Agree they don't necessarily flow well together but if not being used together day to day that's not an issue.
(I like Lyla, and Iris is fine, in my own opinion. My chosen middle name isn't one I particularly like for the name itself though and just means a lot to me!)

I think it's the end of Lyla and the start of Iris that makes it such a mouthful. How about Iris Lyla instead?

It's nice but very tongue twistery. Could you add another middle name to break it up? Lyra Jane Iris for example.

I agree put another name in the middle - your grandmas name for example!

Is the Iris going to be a middle name, hardly ever used or is she going to be known as Lyla Iris, on the school roll for example? If the former, it's fine. If the latter, it's a bit much.

😂😂 definitely not my mamas name she's called ivy 🙈
I don't think iris Lyla sounds very nice, is that because I've got my heart set on the above?
I suppose the baby will just be Lyla and iris wouldn't be used often with it being a middle name. Thankfully nobody uses my middle name, it's awful

Lyla Rose Iris

It’s a nice name! I love Iris. Nothing wrong with Lyla but I don’t love it

Lyla rose iris sounds nice but rose is meh! Everybody's middle name is rose or may or grace at the moment.
too.
The other children all have a first name and a middle name so not wanting to add an extra one.
Hmmmm!
Oldest is Amelie Olivia maybe im attracted to tongue twisters ha

It's nice but agree it's a tongue twister . I ended up saying Lyra in my head.

Don't understand why people are finding it so hard to say!

I think it's a lovely name. Much more refreshing than Rose and Grace for instance...

Lol only just seen your last post! I also love Amelie Olivia ❤️

Agree with Awwlook it's too much of a tongue twister. Second name needs to start with a consonant.

I prefer Lila Iris

Might be because I am a northerners but I put an 'r' in the middle...... lileriris

they don't go together at all. Lyra is quite a soft wishy washy name and in my opinion needs a stronger middle name to balance it.

The name is not Lyra it is Lyla from the oasis song

I think it's lovely but quite hard to say. Having said that, how often do you say the middle name? Not very often.

Congratulations!

Call her Lyla and keep Iris for your next DD?
