HelpRe: Lyra (nt)
in reply to a message by Inspector Javert
As some people may have mentioned - The Golden Compass.
But while this novel introduced me to the name, I never liked the book/movie or the character, strangely. So the name shouldn't have taken off for me, which it didn't for quite a few years.
But now, I'm in love with most four letter, two syllable, L names that end in 'a' (not such a narrow category as you might imagine) and Lyra fits the bill perfectly.
The Golden Compass made this name recognisable, pronounceable and easy to spell. But the franchise didn't take off enough for Lyra to become a too-popular, unusable name.
For a short name, Lyra has enough substance to stand alone and it feels powerful.
Will be spreading some love to Thailand's vulnerable children and animals summer 2016 ~ please support this worthy cause :-) gofund.me/epv33uzf
