Laura, Lara or Lyra?

[DistortedAngel]

Laura seems the most sensible option and I do love the name, Lara used to make me think of Dr Zivago which I read when quite young and loved but now kind of makes me think of Lara Croft which I don't like as much. Lyra I really like and is a bit more unusual but DH says it sound too much like Myra which is no good at all as it makes him think of Myra Hindley! Interested in your opinions.

[DistortedAngel]

This is not making the decision any easier....although looks like Lyra is out - DH really not keen at all and of course I must value his opinion. So Laura or Lara - can't do Lorna or Lyla or Lana as they are all names of people I know either too well or didn't particularly like (being v polite there). Final decision pending......

Laura is such a beautiful, classic, dignified name. Definitely Laura.

I also love Lara - I think Dr Zhivago also.

Laura is classic lovely but Lara is beautiful.

[LostVagueness]

Lyra is the best. Have you read the Pullman Novels? Very strong and cool little girl character.

Alannah is - sort of!

[PheasantPlucker]

Lara - ooh Julie Christie [misty eyed emoticon with a Russian fur hat on it!]

[weepootleflump]

Laura is lovely.
Don't like Lyra.
Not keen on Lara- instantly think of Croft.

[wrinklytum]

Lyra- reminds me of Philip Pulman books

Lara-was the bitch who bullied me at school (sorry tis a pretty name and without this mental association I would actually quite like it)

Therefore it has to be Laura.
