According to ABC News in 2021, Ed confirmed that Lyra was named for the His Dark Materials protagonist and that her middle name, Antarctica, comes from the chilly continent where he and Cherry vacationed before she was pregnant. He also revealed they chose their daughter's name to be one-of-a-kind.Source: Getty ImagesArticle continues below advertisement Ed said, "I realize some people think [Lyra Antarctica] quite a strange name. But my wife's called Cherry, and she is the only Cherry that I've ever met, and I think that she's the only Cherry that she's ever met, and I quite like that." Many fans have since theorized that Ed's second daughter could also be given a unique name, potentially literary-based. What do you think Ed and Cherry named their second daughter? Will her name also have a literary reference? Fans will have to wait and find out.
