Not sure how many of these will be your style but hopefully some fresh ideas in there!
Not all are the same style but they have that edgy/cool feminine feel to me
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]

[name_f]Daria[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]! The girl punk band TacoCat has a few songs referencing [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] (as in evening primrose oil). It’s got the frilly old-fashioned vibe you like but is kinda witchy and punk too.
When I hear edgy/cool I think of names that are short and usually one syllable - the opposite of frilly.

None of these are overtly feminine, though, so these may not help!
This is going off vocalists, drummers, bass players, guitarists, and other rockers:

I left out a lot of the more obvious ones like Stevie <3. Her real name was [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]. I know there were some other obvious ones and quite a few repeats. Some of these names were unrecognizable to me, but the others made me want to jam out. Some of my favorite female drummers had common names like [name_f]Samantha[/name_f]. [name_f]Sami[/name_f] would be a good rocker abbreviation of it. Then there’s Amy, of course.
I like the idea of darker themed names, though. I haven’t looked at Gothic names yet, but off the top of my head, these look super rocker or gothic chick to me: [name_f]Circe[/name_f], [name_f]Lenore[/name_f], [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f], [name_f]Eris[/name_f], [name_f]Jett[/name_f], and [name_f]Ripley[/name_f]. Some of the boy names for girls are what makes me think that girl could be a drummer one day.
There are also songs with names in them that gives them a bit of edge: [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Maurice[/name_f], and [name_f]Carrie[/name_f].
Edited to add these lists (which made me want to eventually update my rock own music names list):
Classic Rock Baby Names
Rock Star Baby Names
Gothic Baby Names
I loved this thread so much. Gah.
My goodness this thread blew up! So many responses I won’t be able to address anyone directly, but clearly it was a challenge! I am still not sure we are quite there yet, but I think these suggestions are the closest to the feel I am thinking of:

So many fantastic names were mentioned even if they didn’t fit the vibe, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts! I am finding I preferred mostly the shorter, spunkier-names, or the nickname names. I think the idea of keeping the names feminine might be the failing point, maybe punky sounding names just tend to run more unisex or boyish sounding??

I know you just said you favoured the shorter, spunkier names so I’m wondering if names from Tolkien and Arthurian legend fall short now? I was think of suggesting [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], Tinuviel, and Celtic/Welsh names. They feel really rock/metal/epic to me. Too far from punk?
