Girls names with a bit of attitude

I'm looking for names which aren't too typically girly and suggest a damsel in distress i.e Pansy, Poppy, Gabriella etc...these are all very nice but just aren't for me....according to me dh I'm looking for names with a bit of "spunk". We already have a Ben(Benjamin) and a Harry...oh and it's twin girls!! So i need two names :)

You can have my name for one of them: Alexandra. Alex is a bad ass name for a girl and I've had nothing but positive feedback with it.

Other girl, Regina (nn Reggie, equally bad ass).

I like Claudia. My little twin gal is right feisty one, and I wish I called her Claudia! Congrats on the pregnancy and hope it all goes brill.

SugarSkyHigh · 04/04/2011 21:39

Georgia or Georgina, and Scarlett.

ivykaty44 · 04/04/2011 21:35

I know a few georgia, georgina and they all end up being george, which as a girl on there own maybe ok - but if you are a twin I wouldn't like one girl to have a girl name and the other to be a boy name, just my thoughts.

Ruth and tess would be lovely together or Ramona and Ruth Ramona and tessa

RancerDoo · 04/04/2011 21:33

Ramona is good.

Josie too.

Marin?

And I like Robyn (although Robyn and Ramona = too sweet for words when together)

discobeaver · 04/04/2011 21:30

Alexis
Arabella

WMDinthekitchen · 04/04/2011 19:22

Tallulah and Mae (when they're up getting their Oscars you'll know you chose well!)

zozzle · 04/04/2011 19:15

For spunky I would go for something short:

Zoe (its actually v. ancient - greek for "life" - but also sounds modern so best of both worlds)
Erin
Joss

DD's name is generally shortened to a boy's name - was one of our reasons for choosing it.

We loved Robyn too - I suppose it would go with Batman! Grin
