Re: Lyra? wdyt?
in reply to a message by whattocalltoday
It hasn't really stood out to me because it just sounds similar to a lot of other common names, but even so I can appreciate its sort of melodic and timeless appeal. This is also probably pretty childish, but I think of mermaids when I hear it lol, and lyre playing of course. I don't think I've ever met a Lyra, but I heard of a celebrity whose daughter bears this name. Instinctively, I would pronounce it LIE-ruh.
