HelpRe: Lyra
in reply to a message by Madrigal
Out of curiosity, has anyone encountered anyone named this before The Golden Compass (UK: Northern Lights... I think) was published?
One poster here has a niece named for that Lyra. :)
I don't know about real people by the name, but I know I loved Lyra-prn-LEER-ah when I was little. I had a huge number of Barbie dolls, but a few of them had "always" names--one was always Charity when we played with her, and another was always Lyra-LEER-ah.
I'm sure it was used in the past, though not frequently at all. ;)
I like the name Lyra, but I'm frustrated at the fact that everyone (including me--damn you, Phillip Pullman!) would pronounce it LYE-rah rather than LEER-ah, so I'd never consider it myself.
