Opinions on 3 girls names we both love!


When/if the time comes and we are having a daughter we now have three names that we both really love. They are all a little unusual, tell me what you think

Lyra, Beatrix or Harleen (Harley). The middle name will *probably* be Blanche after my Great Nanna

I do know a couple of Lyras about which is my resistance to that name but it's very pretty.

Harleen is an old unusual name that I THINK I like the least - however we would pet name her Harley pretty early which I love and I like Harleen a lot, it's still top three!

Beatrix also just a lovely name with available cute nicknames if needed. There's no hurry right now - but I had three final choices of names for my son (Roxas, Ezra and Silas) and being on this forum helped me make up my mind

Yes, we are both fans of His Dark Materials and like the fact that Lyra has become a 'subtly athesist' name. Bit less obvious than calling your son Darwin I guess!

OH has a daughter called Lucie so that would be two 'L' names. So many lovely girls names though, much harder to get boys names I like.
