Wow everyone, thank you so much for your responses! So far we have 8 people voting for Lyra and 9 people voting for Francesca. Would you guys be willing to share what comes to mind when you hear these two names? I love Lyra’s celestial overtones, but I’m slightly worried that it might be too hippie-ish. Francesca is a solid classic but is it too clunky? Would love to hear your thoughts :heart:

I would pick [name_f]Lyra[/name_f].
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] would be a great name :star_struck:
