I've gone back and forth on it too, but have decided I like it. It looks nice, has a pretty sound, and I like that it is tied to both music and astronomy. Very cool.

Ah, Lyra...it's always been a favorite of mine. It's dropped out of my top five recently, though, but I think it comes in at about number six. It was my very favorite name for about five years straight, and obviously I still think it's pretty awesome.

Oh, I do love Lyra, both as a first name and as a middle name. I also quite enjoy the His Dark Material association, personally, not to mention the fact that it's the name of a constellation.

Just to be clear, I'm pronouncing it LYE-rah. I do quite like it, I find it's sort of a softer name but it's not too popular so it hasn't lost it's charm. It also makes me think of The Golden Compass, which is not a bad character association.

I think it's pretty pronounced leer ah.

Lyra is a beautiful name.

I love it when it's pronounced LEE-rah. I think it's soft and feminine and classy, but unique.
