Little Girl with No Name!

Writers' Corner
1

I have been struggling to find a name for a little girl in one of my stories, mostly because I have already used the 2 names I think that would fit her character the most: [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Gaia[/name_f].

She is an orphan, quiet and shy at first. A child with trust issues but extremely sweet. As she finds a family and becomes more comfortable, she develops a sassy and fierce personality.
Physically, she is a very atheletic child. Tanned skin, curly black hair, big black eyes and a freckled nose. She is a wild country child who spends a lot of time outside in the woods, little creeks and lakes. She reminds me of [name_f]Moana[/name_f].

I wanted to find a short name. If it is long it must have a short form. I am looking for nature/water related name that are not too obvious (Ex. [name_u]River[/name_u]). Or a name with a strong meaning as “wild”, “fierce”, “earth”, “sea”, etc…

On the list for far:
[name_f]Naia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
