Lana, Lena, Lara, Luna or Lyra

[Chewingtoffee]

Pick your favourite.

Lara.

Lana doesn't sound like a real name?
Lena is ok
Luna is a common black cat's name
Lyra is a great name - His Dark Materials trilogy but as Ed Sheeran named his baby that name I anticipate it becoming popular.

Dont like any sorry. Meet a Lyra, when her parents said her name I thought they said liar!

My order of preference is the reverse of how you've written them in the title:

Lyra
Luna
Lara
Lena
Lana

Someone once pointed out that Lana is anal backwards and I'm sorry but I cant think of anything else now!

Lyra has been on mine and DH list since we had a drunken conversation about future baby names as teenagers which was 10+ years ago now and we both still love it.

Not Luna, every third dog is called Luna these days

I like Lyra, Lara and Lena in that order.

Not the other two.

Lana - nice but there are so many similar names
Lena - ok but is it Leena or Laina?
Lara - nice but there are so many similar names
Luna - too popular, too close to lunatic. Lona is nicer
Lyra - not keen

I think I'd choose Lara or maybe Lana.

Lyra, I’m biased though as I have a Lyra.

I like Luna but agree it seems to have definitely become a dog name! Also like Lara.

They all seem to merge into one. There are three off that list in DGD's class, I couldn't tell you who is who.

Defo Lyra! Xx

Lara

I love Lana but as a nickname for Alana. Which I’m planning to use if baby is a girl.

Lara if I had to choose one, but I'm not keen on any of them. I never know how to pronounce Lena (leena, layna, lenna?)

Love Lyra

Also quite like Luna and Lara.

Lara - but prefer Laura tbh

Lara is hands down the best - so beautiful!
I do also like Lena.

Lara. Am biased. I have one. I've only met 1 or 2 other Laras. I also really like Lyra.

Lyra. (Phillip Pullman fan.)
I also quite like Lila (as in Robert Persig novel).

Lara is great. Lyra is like lycra, luna is too similar to loony, the others are meh.

I like Lara but I might be biased as I’m a Laura. To echo some previous posters, my husband’s family Labrador is Luna and I know another doggy Luna so must be popular for dogs!

Lena

Llyr meaning the sea.

Luna and Lyra

Lena
Most unusual and just looks nice x

I like Lara.
