Name for an Urban Fantasy Female MC

I’m brainstorming an idea and I’m struggling to come up with a name for the female Main Character. She’s a burn victim who has a lot of scars on her limbs and torso. [name_m]Dark[/name_m] hair with an undercut, several piercings in her ears and one in her lip, as well as some tattoos. She’s the second-oldest of several siblings. She has a short temper, brooding, and is recovering from a lot of trauma from the accident which also nearly killed her brother (who is since missing after leaving in the dead of night).

I’ve considered several names for her, but none of them have “clicked.”

Top Contenders That I’ve Discarded: [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Sloane[/name_f]
Other Possibilities: [name_f]Peyton[/name_f], [name_m]Ridley[/name_m], [name_m]Tate[/name_m], [name_f]Bexley[/name_f], [name_m]Poe[/name_m], [name_m]Lennox[/name_m]

Her siblings names are: [name_m]Ajax[/name_m] (twin brother), [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_m]Arlo[/name_m], [name_m]Rhys[/name_m], and [name_m]Greyson[/name_m]
[name_f]Love[/name_f] Interest: [name_m]Judah[/name_m] “Jude”

I’m looking for a name that’s pretty tough and gritty but still feminine (not really interested in a boy’s name, but gender neutral is fine).

a couple ideas:

-Scarlett
-Arden
-Astrid
-Briar
-Cassidy
-Tess
-Frances
-Kenzie
-Simone
-January
-Harlow
-Lyssa
-Nadia
-Petra
-Lyra
-Maxine
-Lilith
-Neve
-Salem
-Skylar
-Bridget
-Sabrina
-Dalia

She’s in her twenties (around 25-ish, not sure yet of an exact age).

I really like the vibe of [name_m]Jules[/name_m] but since her love interest is [name_m]Judah[/name_m] “Jude,” I don’t really want to go with a “J” name. Freya’s also really got a good vibe but the female MC of the last story I wrote was literally “Freyr” so I kind of want to space out similar names like that.

I really like [name_f]January[/name_f]. But not sure if I want [name_f]January[/name_f] & [name_m]Jude[/name_m] as the main characters (I’m not a big fan of matching initials). [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] is also really good and if [name_m]Salem[/name_m] wasn’t already the name of a different character I’d 100% use it for her. I’ll definitely write down [name_f]Harlow[/name_f], that’s a good one.
