Thoughts on the name Lyra

[FififoxFo]

Just that really. What do you think of the name Lyra for a girl?

Thank you xx

I absolutely love the Pullman novels, but wouldn't use Lyra for a girl. It's too inextricably linked to that character.

I like it but I do think it’s going to be everywhere now that Dark Materials is on tv. It was on my girls list a few years ago but it doesn’t go well with my surname.
