Is it pronounced like LEER-ah or LYE-rah? The first prn. is pretty but makes me think of Italian money. :b The spelling also makes me think of Lycra. But I definitely like it more than Sophia Grace, which is just too popular imo.

I've always thought Lyra (pronounced LYE-ra) was beautiful. Sophia Grace looks boring in comparison because it's so damn popular right now.

LYE-ra

Sophia Grace is too popular. Lyra is also more romantic, to match Isaac Alyosha and Miranda. (Mira's first name, with her middle name, is Mary. Its not romantic, but it was a family name.) So I think Lyra fits in.

I'm confused (what's new)

Is Baby Lyra/Sophia sib to Isaac & Mira or sib to Brianna? I thought she was sib to Brianna.

Isaac and Mira (sorry)

Renee's third. Brianna will probably be an only child.

duh. I knew that.

I don't know why I keep forgetting.

I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.
