What do you think of the girl name Lyra? What middle names would you pair Lyra with?
It's our current top contender for the baby if he/she is a girl.
And finally,
How would you picture a little girl with this name -- looks and temperament wise?
Lyra

Do you say it LEER-a or LYE-ra. I like LYE-ra better.
Isn't it the name of the girl in the Golden Compass books? I never read them myself...
I would imagine a girl with curly hair, a little fiesty, also very intelligent, and sweet when she wants to be

"LYE-ra".
As for the Golden Compass books, I've never read nor heard of them until now. I'll Google them in a minute or so to see if it's a turn-off association or not.
Thanks Rose.

I like it. I'm picturing an adventurer. She likes to imagine alot and she can be a bit mischevious. She's a sweetheart.
Lyra Genevieve maybe?

You're all describing Lyra from the Golden Compass. 
(I watched it with my brothers -It had Nicole Kidman in it)
But I do imagine a little blonde girl with curly hair, fiesty but sweet and VERY intelligent and mature for her age.

I'm really liking how it sounds, but seeing it written reminds me of the Lira (prn. it Lee-ra), the previous Italian currency.
It has a sweet sound, though, and I like it. It also reminds me of Ilaria, pronounced ee-LAH-ree-a, which I think is beautiful.

Two things need to be said,
[1] Thanks everyone. Your input is very much appreciated.
[2] I've looked up the Golden Compass, and the association doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Now onto the combos:
Lyra Genevieve - I love Genevieve. I only like it in the first name spot though.
Lyra Monet - Monet is interesting, but just isn't my style.
Can anyone else think up some more combos?
