Lyra?

[KronksSpinachPuffs]

What are people's thoughts on the name Lyra?

My DH loves it and while I do really like it and I know it is more popular than it used to be I'm not sure if it's a name that is still one that would raise eye brows in real life?

Is it a bit weird?

I love the fact it is a star constellation and the character in his dark materials.

Also does anyone have any middle name suggestions?

Not for me.

Alright then @namechange30 it also sounds like lier.

As in Lyra, Lyra, pants on fire

*liar

Meh, I don't think so.
You clearly just don't like the name, and that's fine.
Not everyone has to like it.

Love it. I would have been a bit less positive about it a few years ago, with it being a made-up-for-a-story sort of name, but with the character from His Dark Materials AND Lyra McKee, it's a wonderful name, unless you want a name with meek, docile, religious connotations.

I really dislike it. I think it's an ugly version of Lyla. Not that fond of Lyla either.

I love it. It is what we would have called DS had he been a DD.

The BBC is about to show an adaptation of "His Dark Materials", the trailer is being shown a lot at the moment. I should imagine Lyra will massively spike in popularity over the next year, rather like Arya after Game of Thrones.
Unless you are happy with that, I wouldn't choose it.
