[girl2013sep]

here's our list..

Iris
Lyra
Esme
Luna
Iona

Thoughts please!

[farmersdaughter]

I love Iona, but as long as your surname isn't field or such like.

[OrangeFootedScrubfowl]

Iris or Iona. :)

[Bowlersarm]

Love Iona

[fussychica]

All lovely (though Luna is a bit out there) so whatever goes best with your surname. Lyra & Iris personal favourites.

[DoodleAlley]

I like Esme

[DoodleAlley]

Luna sounds a shade too close to looney in my book but kids will always find a reason to mock so if you like it go with it

[StrangeGlue]

Iris or esme

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Lyra or Esme. Don't like Iona much.

[MummyBurrows]

Luna or Esme get my vote (regardless of whether its ez-mee or ez-may you want) :)

[drinkyourmilk]

Love iris

[Essexgirlupnorth]

Like all of them apart from Luna. Lyra is on my list for a girl.

[LittleDirewolfBitJoffrey]

Luna. Is the most interesting.

[CreatureRetorts]

Iris or Lyra.

Say them out loud in full.

[Eskino]

Iris or Lyra too.

I had them both on our shortlist. In the end we chose the only name we felt surpassed those two. I think I would go for Lyra actually.

[HeffalumpTheFlump]

I love Lyra :)

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Lyra is lovely.

[TheRealFellatio]

Not wild about Lyra but I love all the rest. I'd go for Luna.

[TheRealFellatio]

Not wild about Lyra but I love all the rest. I'd go for Luna.

[Kaekae]

Iris for me. :)

[TheRealFellatio]

Although on second thoughts I can see the potential for teasing and cries of 'Loonie' so I'm changing my mind to Iris.

[Still18atheart]

In order of preference

Iona - favourite
Esme - yes
Iris - yes
Luna - It's ok
Lyra - no lycra

[KitNCaboodle]

Iris for me

[telsa]

Iona, Esme and Luna....all very gorgeous and uncommon and dreamy/elegant. Lyra...nah, too like Lycra or Liar. And Iris, is rather sharp, and horrid and overused in my opinion.

[pinkandsparklytoo]

I have a friend with daughters with two of your names. Her third daughter is Vida.

[mummybare]

I think Iris is beautiful.
