What do you think of Lyra? I just recently made a new friend named Lyra. What about some middle names? This is the Lyra contellsation:_______________________________________________________

Lyra in HDM got her name because she could lie her way out of trouble! That has always put me off the name, though the character is wonderful. I would never think of using it, because I'm so very fond of Laura.I know the mother of a Phoebe Lyra Kate.

Lyra is my favorite celestial name other than Stella or Estella. I've never met anyone named Lyra. It's really pretty.

Lyra's been a long-time favorite of mine, ever since I first read His Dark Materials as a teenager. It's still in my top favorites for a girl and one I'd seriously consider using.My favorite combo is Lyra Artemisia Leigh

I love it, one of my favourites. Perfect example of a short, fiery choice that has lots in common with more popular names, but is far more unexpected. I really struggle with middles for Lyra, as nothing quite fits the image I have of her (basically the His Dark Materials character). However these have a nice flow:Lyra Charlotte
Lyra Annabel
Lyra Elizabeth
Lyra Tempest
Lyra Valkyrie
Lyra Athena
Lyra Alice
