Down to two girl's names

[WhiskersPete]

DD2 is due in a few weeks. We are down to 2 names. DD1 is called Anoushka.

So, Lyra or Holly?

(DH and I are both fans of His Dark Materials btw)

Lyra.

Holly. I don't like Lyra but I love Lyla. Aren't name preferences weird?

Lyra. Holly is nice but a bit blah next to Anoushka.

Lyra

I like Holly better in absolute terms but I think I like Lyra better with Anoushka. They're both a bit unusual, whereas Holly is more mainstream.

Lyra I think although like both.

Holly

I like them both, I think I'd go for Lyra.

I agree that Lyra goes better with Anoushka.

Lyra is a wonderful name!

Lyra is so elegant, and goes far better with the equally elegant Anoushka IMO.

Holly is nice but a bit more ordinary, for me: more in the Megan, Amy, Hannah bracket of perfectly nice, but slightly boring names 😂

Have you thought about Lara?

Lyra. DS would have been Lyra if he'd been a DD.

I've just had a Lyra 😊 so that gets my vote!

Lyra

Lyra- Holly does not go with Dd1

Deflation Lyra it's lovely. Holly is nice but I don't think it goes with her sisters name.

Holly is so plain next to Anoushka! Lyra is much better but I still don’t think it has the same pizzazz as Anoushka.

Lyra or Seraphina!

Lyra

I always think if you're down to a couple of names wait until baby is here. One might fit her better.

Neither. You should give her a name as brilliant as her sister.

Neither. You should give her a name as brilliant as her sister.

Like what though? It's been 8 months and I can't think of one! Any suggestions?

Was going to say Holly but Lyra had grown on me quickly and I think it is better with Anoushka.

I still don’t think it has the same pizzazz as Anoushka

But what does though? Sigh

Arabella, same start and end, I think it's fancy enough to pair with Anoushka!
