What names for girls do you find edgy and cool sounding while still obviously feminine?
Almost looking for a punk rock/grunge sort of vibe if that makes sense.
Could you please give examples of names you like?
Hahaha the problem is that this isn’t my usual naming style so I am at a loss. Most of my girls names are unapologetically feminine, floral and borderline frilly like [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], Olenna, [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] etc etc But that’s not necessarily my style in general, so I am hoping to see some ideas that break the pattern!
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
Amaranth
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
[name_f]Nyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Odile[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Morwenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
Hmm… feminine rocker 
[name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolene[/name_f]
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]
[name_u]Vida[/name_u]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] was the first name to come to mind. Some others that give off that vibe (which I also love):
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxy[/name_f]
[name_f]Trixie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clio[/name_f]/[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_u]Jody[/name_u]
[name_f]Liza[/name_f]
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
Valkyrie
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Tasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
Some are more due to association, but they have that feel to me.
I think these totally rock the feminine-but-edgy vibe:
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
I think these are more on the frilly side but still with an edgy vibe to them:
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
These are decidedly feminine but with the strong, sturdy feel instead of girly frillyness:
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Fearne[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Austen[/name_u]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowen[/name_u]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] (duplicate, but a quirky favorite of mine)
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]

I left in duplicates since I think it’s meaningful if names come up more than once, but I apologize if it clouds your thinking. Some names here are a little bit more flouncy (e.g., [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]), but I think they work because of their “cool” factor.
Here there be repeats (I agree with the above poster that they’re meaningful!)
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
[name_f]Avis[/name_f]
[name_f]Azenor[/name_f]

I wanna say “retro names”, mainly those that were common in the 80s (on adults) when punk started getting popular.
I’m thinking of:
[name_f]Valerie[/name_f] “[name_u]Val[/name_u]”
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Patricia[/name_f] “[name_u]Pat[/name_u]”
[name_f]Betty[/name_f]
[name_f]Becky[/name_f]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
Probably not what you’re looking for but when I think of punk, that’s what I think of…
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is super feminine but also has a darker feel thanks to the Shakespearean tragedy connotations- I think [name_m]Dave[/name_m] Grohl has an [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], which just adds to the rocker vibe. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], maybe? Also has a literal dark meaning- ‘bringer of death’. Good luck! 
Some repeats, but…
