My dd has a cat named Lyra. We pronounce it LEER-uh. I'm not totally surprised by the LIE pronunciation, however, LEER makes much more sense to me when I consider how many names use a y to replace the i (Lysa, Melyssa, etc.). Then again, I suppose the y could have a long i sound as well (Ryley, Lyla, etc.).
