HelpLyra.
This is a name that my sister-in-law is considering for the baby. I really love it, but my brother is set on Sophia Grace. The baby is due in late April/early May. What names do you think go with it?

I love both Lyra and Sophia, but if the middle name Grace is staying (which I find very filler-ish), I'd go with the more unusual first name - Lyra.

I love Lyra! It reminds me of Lyla!
I like Sophia Grace, but Grace is being murdered as a middle name lately.
I vote a mixture. Lyra Sophia or Sophia Lyra. The first gets my vote. Wdyt?

Lyra: the name of the heroine in the His Dark Materials books! But not outrageously associated with it, I don't think. I hope they use it. I think Sophia Grace is lovely, but I've seen it so much, it's positively generic to me. I guess if you don't hang out on naming sites you don't get that impression (until she goes to school)..
Anyway. Some instant combos
Lyra Catherine
Lyra Millicent
Lyra Sophia
Lyra Camille
Lyra June
Lyra Judith
Lyra Marlene
Lyra Justine
Lyra Kirstan
Lyra Scarlett
Lyra Shannon
Lyra Darcy
Lyra Charlotte
Lyra Charlize

rofl, that's exactly how I feel

That's what I think whenever people choose names like Connor, Emma, etc. Then I have to stop and remind myself, "Self, not everyone hangs out at name sites and reads the birth announcements like you do." Then I think, "Well, they should!" :P
I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.

I think Lyra is lovely. While I prefer LEE-rah to LYE-rah, it's not at all a bad pronunciation. It reminds me of (of course) the Pullman series, which I didn't enjoy particularly well. (On the other hand, I only read Northern Lights, and I keep meaning to read the other two before writing off the series.) I thought it was well-written and all...just not for me.
Hm. I think that Lyra Sophie would be a nice compromise, particularly if Sophie was pronunced soh-FEE.

Wonderful.
Lyra is a little spunky and unusual while still sounding elegant. I love it. Then again, I love Sophia too...SUCH a bummer that it's so popular these days! So I prefer Lyra, and I agree, I like the way it fits with the siblings. Let us know how it turns out.
