I'd pronounce Lyrene like Lur-REEN or lye-REEN. Drop the final E, and it'd be more like LEER-rin (Lyren, or even Lyrin because it looks like lyric and might discourage the Lye pronunciation). Lyri sounds just like the word leery though, and doesn't really shorten the name. I could see Lyrin (LEER-rin) nn Lee working. I guess if it's HG style, you might like the nn Lyri if you are trying to subliminally refer to the character's distrustfulness of others. Then Lyri would be ok.

Rhett Emerson sounds good.
