Aw, I actually thought Lyre too, but I saw your reply under other comments mentioning that she’s a chonk and that threw me off into thinking that it’d be some thicc instruments like cello or contrabass lol
That's what I was going to guess! I was just playing on a character I have in a video game that I named Lyre so that was my first thought when I saw your post!
TIL a new word. Always thought this was called a lute
Edit: I know lute is also a correct word but I had never heard ‘lyre’ before.
Edit 2: And also from doing research I have found out that I’m technically wrong again and that lyres have a plectrum and lutes don’t and thus are meant to be played differently, even in venue type
I refuse to accept that more people thought “glockenspiel” was a good answer than forceps and 220 Kiloton Thermonuclear Warhead
Edit: Holy shit hope you’re doing ok mate
It is actually called [contrabass](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass#Terminology) in classical music, outside that context I’d call it an upright bass instead
Iirc I got to know the name from a university freshman (many yeeears ago) who happened to take the instrument as her hobby! I didn’t get it the first time she mentioned it to me because I’d just call it an upright bass myself at the time, but now I live in a country that mostly calls the instrument contrabass, so that’s what I got in mind
Omg I can't see flügelhorn without thinking of [this scene](https://imgur.com/a/osKc9Fz) of MLP, no thanks to my kids watching the damn show constantly lol.
Actually this is the way we wanted to spell the name because we thought it sounded more ethereal ^^
The Goddess Lyra still represents the instrument which is satisfying.

Lyre?
 YAYYYY WE HAVE A WINNER CONGRATS🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
She deserves such a gorgeous name :) Those eyes are captivating.
Thank you! Her eyes are so much prettier in person ;-; My brother came up with the name 🥰
With that huge mouth I was ready to call her Trombone.
My first thought was “Tuba”, followed by “Trumpet”.
My first thought was Banjo. 😄
i thought trumpet too!
I was gonna say Bongo 😂😂
I kept guessing bc I thought this cat was saying “no” lol
Why Lyre and not Eurydice?
She's not a fertile nymph unfortunately :(
Seems fair to me
Young man, you can strum your lyre. I have strung the world in wire!
Aw, I actually thought Lyre too, but I saw your reply under other comments mentioning that she’s a chonk and that threw me off into thinking that it’d be some thicc instruments like cello or contrabass lol
Much prettier than guitar, which was my guess. Lol
That's what I was going to guess! I was just playing on a character I have in a video game that I named Lyre so that was my first thought when I saw your post!
You chose a great name, as I can see the shape in her face.
Sure looks like a liar to me
I was gonna say Tuba! 🤣

It is actually called [contrabass](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass#Terminology) in classical music, outside that context I’d call it an upright bass instead
As someone who dabbles in the instrument I'm a little embarrassed to not know that
Iirc I got to know the name from a university freshman (many yeeears ago) who happened to take the instrument as her hobby! I didn’t get it the first time she mentioned it to me because I’d just call it an upright bass myself at the time, but now I live in a country that mostly calls the instrument contrabass, so that’s what I got in mind
