Name for MC

Hello all! The main character of my story needs a name! She is a girl and the story is about her and volleyball, I haven’t worked out all the detials yet. But she is a volleyball player so I would like a strong name, not a cutesie, frilly name.
i LOVE the name Clara but I have another MC who’s named that. I also really like Felicity but I think it is just too frilly and girly for the character.
Her middle name will either be Jordan/Jordyn, Justine, or Avery.
She also has a little sister so if anybody wants too they can suggest names for her too! :upside_down_face: :melting_face: :hugs:

Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I also love the name Tallulah

Idk why but I love the idea of [name_f]Avery[/name_f] as first name!

[name_f]Avery[/name_f] [name_m]Jordan[/name_m] would be perfect and she could also go by the sporty AJ

You could do [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] ‘Flick’, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] ‘Felix’ or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jordyn[/name_f] ‘Flyn’?

[name_m]Little[/name_m] sister could then be [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]?

[name_m]New[/name_m] suggestions:

[name_f]Clarke[/name_f]
[name_m]Adair[/name_m]
[name_f]Remi[/name_f]
[name_f]Billie[/name_f]
[name_f]Peyton[/name_f]
[name_m]Frankie[/name_m]
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f]
[name_f]Indigo[/name_f]
[name_f]Asha[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] ‘Kai’
[name_f]Sasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Skyla[/name_f]

If you love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] - something similar may be :
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Lacy[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarke[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Larissa[/name_f]

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] reminds me of the similar names:
[name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] / [name_f]Elyse[/name_f]
[name_f]Elissa[/name_f] / [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]

Other names I think would work
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Marta[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Shea[/name_f]

Thanks for all the people who answered! I am debating between [name_f]Sydney[/name_f] and [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] :balance_scale:, both with the middle name [name_m]Jordan[/name_m]

[name_f]Callista[/name_f] has a similar sound to [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and could shorten to the sportier “Cal” or “Cali.”
