[Opinions] Lyra
What do you think of Lyra (LY-ra)? I think it's really pretty and I'm a bit surprised it never made any top 1000 lists.

I actually love it. I associate it with the His Dark Materials trilogy, and the "lie" part doesn't bother me. When I have kids, Lyra June will be a definite contender for a girl.

I like it, but I pronounce it LEER-uh

I'm neutral on it...it is a bit of a 'nothing' name to me. I also find it awkward to say aloud with the l and r so close together.

I like it pronounced LEER-ah (similar to "lyric"), but the LYE-rah pronunciation always sounds like a villain's name to me. Not sure why. It just has a dark, sinister vibe to it to my ears. So, I like it, but not pronounced like LYE-rah. My cat's name is Lyra pronounced the other way.

I really like it. It would probably get misheard as the much more popular Lila...and speaking of Lila, I don't know why it's not more popular either.

Neutral, just not interested.

I don't think it's pretty. It's just the "lie" part that puts me off.
