Re: How would you pronounce Lyra
in reply to a message by Luvbug86
This is my cat's name. We've pronounced it LEER-ah for eleven years now so it's really hard for me to ever read it as "LYE-rah."
I like the LEER-ah pronunciation; I don't like the LYE-rah one.
LEER-rah makes more sense to me because it comes from the same source as "lyric, lyrical, etc."
