Lyra's sibling is called...

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!

I like Alexandra, I would have suggested it for the first name if you hadn't already picked Nina :)

Lyra and Ruby

Oops - congratulations! Nina is a gorgeous name!

Harriet, Bridget, Sienna, and Eloise are all lovely and imo would be lovely names to go with Lyra.

I really love both Harriet and Bridget and their nicknames.

Suggestions:
Eden
Rowena
Tamsin
Cleo
Vita
Juno
Willow
