I can see why you’re having problems deciding. They both have great qualities, but [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is just a little bit sweeter I think. I’m from the south though, so I may be a tad bit biased. :wink:

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is so sweet <3

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]!

Sounds like there’s a lot more meaning behind [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Plus it flows slightly better. I would prefer [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] to [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]. Have you considered [name_f]Eira[/name_f] (meaning snow) instead of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought.

I voted [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], but both are lovely choices. Good luck!

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is just too sweet to pass up in my eyes!

Both [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] are great names. Very beautiful! I also like a pp’s suggestion of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I think I’d have to say [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is my favourite, because [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is a bit more mysterious and magical, so maybe goes a little better with [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]. That’s just my personal opinion though.

I love both [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] has such magical, natural, fantastical charm [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] lacks!

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is so much nicer to my ears. In my opinion [name_f]Belle[/name_f] as a middle name sounds a little Toddlers and Tiaras. It sounds much nicer as a component of a longer name like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] than on its own.

Both combos sound, look and in general feel fantastic - I can see why you’re having difficulty deciding. I am very torn as to which way to vote myself…

I think I’ll have to side with [name_f]Belle[/name_f] though, as I like the meaning it contains and feel it works better with her brother’s names. I also assume (due to your LBSW comment) that [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]'s surname would start with a W, in which case [name_f]Snow[/name_f] might run into it?

Thanks for the input!

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] is a lovely name, but I actually went to school with one and now I only associate the name with her.

[name_f]Eira[/name_f] is a creative and logical solution. [name_m]How[/name_m] is it pronounced? We live in a very Jewish area where [name_u]Ira[/name_u] is common older man’s name.

As far as I know [name_f]Eira[/name_f] can be pronounced EYE-ruh or AY-ruh, the latter being my favourite that I absolutely love.

[name_f]Eira[/name_f] as Ayra is beautiful, but I’m stuck on [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]. Maybe it’s because my dad and his dad and his mom are [name_m]Larry[/name_m], [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] is sort of an update on those, you know?
