Middle Name for Lyra

Hi all, we are having a baby girl and have decided on the name Lyra, but we are struggling to find a nice middle name that fits and flows.

I was thinking Willow? Alternatively, any suggestion? Thank you :)

I know a Lyra Seren.

How are you pronouncing Lyra? I know there’s several variations

EllaRaines · 19/06/2023 17:39

Louise.

I would choose something without strong L or R sound and with strong consonant. Willow doesn't work since it has strong LO sound

Lyra Bridget
Lyra Esther (works even with R cause it's very th heavy name)
Lyra Marigold
Lyra Madeline or Madelief (both Marigold and Madeline has L sound, but I feel it's still as balanced with other consonant)
Lyra Maud (no sound is repeated)
Lyra Stephanie
Lyra Thisbe
above names all on my own list

other ideas
Lyra Constance
Lyra Daphne
Lyra Destiny
Lyra Frances
Lyra Gwen
Lyra Jasmine

It's hard to find names without L or R and many female names are vowel heavy.

You can look for behindthename - they list a large list of names, but I think, as long name isn't really big on L or R, you can use them with Lyra - so names as Esther or Madeline.

Anything but Rose/Grace/May. So overused.

Lyra Rose was the first thing that came to mind :)

Lyra sounds difficult with Willow.
I like the fact that Lyra is a pink Flannel flower.

Do you like Lyra ..

Lyra Willow doesn’t flow too well (also think the name Willow is being done to death at the moment and sounds like a dog).

Lyra Pearl
Lyra Celeste
