Short edgy girls names?

So I am due in two weeks and still struggling to decide on a name for our baby girl. We both like short names and so far we like either indie or coco... what’s everyone’s thoughts on these names? Also any suggestions are welcome! Thank you!

Lux? As in the soap?
Right then how about:
Camay?
Dove?
Imperial Leather?

I know an 8 year old Coco and a couple of Indies, I love both the names and we had Indy on our list for both boy and girl babies.
I wouldn't go for Rae, merely because in my daughter's reception class there are 3 girls who have double-barrelled Christian names, all of them ending in Rae, eg Morgan-Rae etc.

I love Thora, it's a fantastically strong name.
Or how about Idra, Adira, Zora, Athena, Isa, Eleri, Raven, or Hilde?

I've developed a liking for East African names, very unique and original in this day and age. They offer much flair to your child's personality.

Jimima - can be shortened to Jim(i)
Ganawaya - can be shortened to Gamba
Champagne - can be shortened to Cham

Let me know what you choose and good luck with your child.xxx

Lots of love -
