Re: Lyra? wdyt?
in reply to a message by whattocalltoday
I love it!
I haven't met any IRL that I can remember. Aside from the constellation this name mainly reminds me of lyres, which make me think artsy/musical, and also remind me of classical mythology and historical vibes. I also think of Lyra from His Dark Materials, but she doesn't fit most of the associations I have with the name and she has the wrong hair (Lyra is a black-haired name IMO).
I used to read it as lie-ruh and leer-uh about equally, but now I always default to lie-ruh.
