Lyra Antarctica

[SockYarn]

Is what Ed Sheeran has called his first child.

I am not a fan of celeb names usually but I really like this. Lyra is unusual but not weird, easy to spell and would suit women of all ages.

Antarctica is indeed a bit unusual but I think you can get away with a more unusual choice for a middle name.

Great choice Ed and Cherry. Kardashians and rappers take note.

I work with children and Lyra is pretty popular these days. Antarctica, not so much

It spells LASS

Lyra is lovely and from a great book ... Antarctica is a bit odd but I'm really happy for them 🙂 x

Ack you're right! Maybe they got it wrong too?

I do like the name but think would struggle as a fan of the books (as Sheeran says he is) to get past the connotations with 'liar'

Lyra is lovely but in a class of Lila, Lola, Mila, Mia, Layla, Ella, Luna etc, it will end up sounding samey.
Antarctica is a fantastic middle name. I like a middle name that has meaning (presumably this does to them) and it's fun without being embarrassing.

Lyra is ok but Antarctica is awful. I really don't get the point of middle names anyway. Who ever uses them? I never ever use mine and it's not because I don't like it.

DH doesn't have one which I think was a sensible decision by his parents

It spells LASS

Yep. They didn't ask MN about initals did they?

She is now just Lassy now I've realised this and I can't unsee it.

I like Antartica as a middle name though.

I love the name Lyra. Sadly it was already getting over popular after the Dark Materials tv adaptation and now I expect this will send it rocketing, like Harper.

Antarctica wouldn’t be my choice, but it’s fine as a middle name.

Definitely heard of far worse celeb names.

I like it ans think they have gone for LASS on purpose as another possible nickname

I am quite enchanted with Seaborn... it's so evocative of a wintry landscape with a mystic, defiant explorer.
