I’m expecting a second girl later in the year, I already have a Lyra who will be nearly 3. Finding it hard to think of a name that matches well with Lyra. Lyra is from the constellation but also obviously there’s a famous book character so pairs like Lyra and Matilda for example sound a bit weird like we’ve raided the library.
- Can’t be too long (or should have a shorter nickname), she’ll have a double barrelled surname the poor lamb
- Can’t begin with L
- Not a fan of names like Willow and Rowan (for my child, love them on others)
Names I like but don’t think are the one - Marianne (but probably too long), Rosa, Cleo (but the car…), Claudia, Juno, Eliza (sounds too similar).
Thoughts on these and especially other suggestions welcome. I tried a baby names app and it suggested Velvet and Fanny so not much help…
