Lyra
I definitely wouldn't use Layla but neither one is my style. Layla sounds like a loose layabout. Lyra sounds stronger and more attractive.

Hi !!!
I choose Layla.
I've involved in Semitic languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic) for years. This is my field of study and I'm always interested in these cultures. Layla works both in Arabic and Hebrew and means 'night' a poetic reference in every Arabic poem.
Lyra would be misunderstand here in Italy.
Infact It Is pronounced LEE-ra. Lira was also the currency before Euro. Both money and constellation have their origin from the Ancient Greek instrument yes but it is a literarian reference while the currency is a daily link still nowadays (people often say: 'Oh! It is too expansive! When we were using lira It would cost...'. Totally unusable.

Lyra all the way for me. She’s strong, feisty, and full of energy, plus the literary connection. Lyra’s one of my favourites. Also I have a cousin Layla, so I wouldn’t use it.

Lyra. I dislike Layla spelled like that and it is too popular for my taste.
Lyra receives my vote!
Both are honestly beautiful but I prefer the sound of 'Lyra' more. Plus, it's not as commonly used and sounds more mature (able to age better with the individual)
