Lyra's sibling is called...

[Ontheflipside_]

36 weeks pregnant and the sex of the baby is a surprise.

For a boy we love Harry and that will be his name.

Girls is the struggle. We can't have/don't want another L name, which rules out names we like such as Lilian. Our surname is also a colour, so we don't want a flower or gem.

Don't like anything too twee or floral sounding. Would like something feminine and strong, like Lyra....

Names we like but won't use:
Lilian
Ruby
Charlotte
Sienna
Violet
Harper

Names we like and might potentially use:
Bridget (Bridie)
Nina
Harriet (Hattie)
Eloise

If anyone has any other suggestions please give me your thoughts!

Nina is one of my all time favourite names! So pretty and underused.

Heidi
Matilda
Kitty
Alice

I love the name Lyra and have a literary name link for my dc.

I hadn't thought of Juno. I really like that with Lyra.

Lyrs is a brake pad for a cycle.

Hero?

Estella? Very Dickensian so goes with literary theme

You could have Hester and have Hettie as a nickname.

or how about Astrid?

I think of Lyra as literary, because of the novels, so other literary names might be

Emma
Roberta (the railway children)
Lucy (Narnia, overused but lovely name)
Matilda
Hermione (Harry Potter but also Greek myth and Shakespeare)
Posy or Petrova (ballet shoes, I love Petrova but no way would my partner let me use it)

Our granddaughter Lyra has a sister called Freya

Imogen

lyra and

Hera
Lydia
Evangeline
Rumer
Constance

Tabitha
Estelle
Ruth

Jocasta
Hero
Hera
Circe
Matilda

If I had a Vivienne or Vivian her nn would be Viva

Also like Vida

Ottilie

Leona
Marnie
Esme
Lara

I feel Angela/Angelina/Anjelica

Astrid

Bella Second name Cqua

Lyra and Cleo
Lyra and Rowan
Lyra and Thea
Lyra and Juniper (Juni)
Lyra and Kitty
Lyra and Seren

Love pps' suggestions of Juno and Vida.
Sylvie ?

Not a fan of Nina - it’s too much like ninny. I absolutely love Juno though - Lyra and Juno is great.

Juno just reminds me of the team pregnancy film 😅
