HelpLIE-ra
in reply to a message by sara
Being that the constellation is LIE-ra, I'd say likewise if the name was applied to a person. Lira to me is LEE-ra. Maybe I'd think otherwise if I didn't know what Lyra or lira were, but specific associations have pretty much sealed the pronunciations for me.

I agree.
I prn. Lyra like LIE-ra, and it makes me think of the constellation and of the character in the His Dark Materials trilogy. I really like it. =) I don't like the LEER-ah pronunciation at all.
