Name for slightly abrasive, strong, sarcastic female?

I always choose [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] for these girls in my first draft, mostly because of [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Mason[/name_u] from The Hunger Games. If there was ever a perfectly-named character, she was it. Honestly, every time I insert this personality into my work, my brain just screams “[name_f]JOHANNA[/name_f]! SHE IS A [name_f]JOHANNA[/name_f]!”

I’m looking for a name for a sweeter version of ‘[name_f]Johanna[/name_f]’ (as in that personality) now, a little more compassionate on the surface, but still snarky and abrasive. Second draft this time, so keeping that name is out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hmm. Maybe [name_u]Avery[/name_u]/[name_f]Avis[/name_f], or maybe [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] or [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]

You mean an INTJ? Haha just makes me think of the personality thread. And [name_f]Daria[/name_f].

Umm…[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]? [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f]?

I’ve had two charectors of this type, one a while back and one only a few moths ago before I trashed the story.
They were [name_u]Romy[/name_u] (previously [name_u]Remy[/name_u] before I changed it) and [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. So I guess I think R names apply?

@thefaultinourstars Nice suggestion! Following that model, [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] seemed to click. Any opinions/name connotations?
