A singer with the brilliantly fitting name Lyric says she would not change it "for the world" and is thankful to her parents for the unique choice.
Lyric Mederios, 21, from Hawaii also has a brother named Chord, 23, and says the names make them stand out and a lot of people compliment them.
Music has always always been a huge passion for the family so the names are perfect for the pair. She said: "Music has always been a part of our lives in some way, shape or form. My mum was the one who came up with our names and thought Chord and Lyric would be cute and here we are today.
"I am so grateful to my parents for giving me such a unique name because it definitely makes me stand out."
Lyric's dad, Glenn, was a musician in the 80s known for hits like 'Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You' and 'Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone'.
She admitted that a lot of people take a second glance at the name to make sure they are pronouncing it properly but that she gets a lot of compliments alongside her brother.
She said: "People definitely take a second look at our names to pronounce them correctly. If anything it has been a blessing because it makes us stand out - it is a really unique name.
"A lot of people compliment our names saying they are so cool and clever and they love it. We have only ever had positive reviews with our names."
Lyric says she's never been bullied or had remarks made about her name - claiming people are always interested to find out the story behind them but concedes that it can be difficult when people try to spell it.
She added: "The one thing people are mistaken about my name is they often spell it wrong. When I am ordering food they ask me two or three times.
"I then explain my name is spelt like lyrics in a song and they say how cool it is. It is the same for my brother too, but when they hear Chord and Lyric together it is always a positive response.
"I have never had a negative response to my name. Lyric is more of a common name nowadays too. Whenever I post it on social media, people say they know a lot of people named Lyric but they have never heard the name Chord.
"Chord and Lyric together is a very unique brother and sister duo."
Lyric is following in her dad's footsteps and has auditioned for American Idol - which will air this Sunday in America.
The young musician said: "Ever since I could sing, my dad and I have always sung together. We have bonded over music. Given that my dad got his start in the industry through a singing competition, and now I have the opportunity to go on a singing competition it is so crazy.
"It is coming full circle so I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this music competition and sing while my dad is by my side."
