Introducing Lyra

[mike.brightmore]

Thought I would proudly introduce my first grandchild to the SGL community, seeing as she has a heavenly name - 'Lyra'. I think when choosing the name my daughter was more persuaded by Philip Pullman's exquisite trilogy (Northern Lights aka The Golden Compass etc.) rather than astronomy, but I really like being related to a constellation. So next time any members get furious about not being able to find M57 - please don't curse Lyra, because she really is beautiful and with a name like that will probably be the Astronomer Royal by the age of eleven. Anyone else know any youngsters with astro names?

My gosh, that's an AWESOME name! And what a beautiful child!

What a little stunner Mike and a name to match. I really like these astro names.

She is a real beauty Mike, and just like Lyra's Alpha Star Vega, she has its lovely blue in her eyes.
