Sister for Lyra?

[LyrasMama]

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…

Electra

Coralie
Rosanna
Ionie
Saskia
Maeve

Blythe
Nova or Nola

@LyrasMama Lyra sounds faintly musical to me - so how about Viola?

If it helps we've just welcomed a little Cleo and have had nothing but compliments on her name. Noone has mentioned the car association to our faces. We've been asked if she's named for the Greek Muse or the Egyptian Queen 🥰

Some fab suggestions on here though OP. Have fun choosing and hope you have a wonderful time with your two little ones xx

Alix
Maeve
Zoe
Eden
Joni

I love Juno though, unclear why you’ve ruled in out. I’d avoid another name ending with an ‘ah’ syllable.

I know 2 Lyra's

1 has sisters called Saffron and Kitty (i think short for Katherine) and 1 has a sister called Josie (Josephine)

Mila

Seren
Elin
Cali
Clea
Elodie
Cassia
Enfys
