What would you name a strong heroine?

General Name Discussion

I’m thinking a girl who has the brains of [name]Hermione[/name], the boldness of [name]Buffy[/name], and the cunning of [name]Lyra[/name] (from His Dark Materials). So far, that is; [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Buffy[/name]), and [name]Lyra[/name]. I think [name]Maeve[/name] would also fit, as she was pretty badass. And maybe [name]Vesper[/name] and [name]Lara[/name]. Any other non-frilly, strong, heroine type girl names out there? (Obviously the less common ones are preferred to ones like…[name]Cate[/name]).

All of these are brilliant! Actually, [name]Lyra[/name] would make a good first name, come to think of it. I’m just not sure what the myth ([name]Orpheus[/name], his lyre etc) would impart…don’t look back, maybe?

[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Joana[/name]
[name]Cate[/name]
[name]Liz[/name]

That’s all I can think of.

“a girl who has the brains of [name]Hermione[/name], the boldness of [name]Buffy[/name], and the cunning of [name]Lyra[/name]”

[name]Love[/name] that description.

If I were to name her, I would pick

[name]Clove[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name]

[name]Ariadne[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]

I’d go with:

[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Carmel[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Lisbeth[/name] (nn [name]Bette[/name])
[name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Robyn[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helped, love the idea of [name]Maeve[/name]!

[name]Catalina[/name] or [name]Brooklyn[/name]… place names seem like they’d fit well.
