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!

Peta pronounces peter

Coco makes me think of ice T's wife Coco Austin, and it sounds like a pets name.

Children do become their names, so it's just about finding something you like.

Echo is great. Wouldn't use it for a scouser though.
Others you could consider are Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Foxtrot, Juliet...

Strippervicar · 16/07/2018 18:07

Lark. DD was almost a Lark.

Lexilooo · 16/07/2018 18:02

Edna abbreviated to Ed if you want. Short strong and in step with the "granny names" trend.

Pudding01 · 16/07/2018 17:56

Coco sounds like a pornstar name to me... Really sorry!

Indie is nice though 😊 x

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 16/07/2018 17:41

Echo?

ECHO?!

Please tell me you're fu King kidding me...

MikeUniformMike · 16/07/2018 17:25

I'm not keen on Indie and Coco is a clown or dog's name.
How about Jet.

I think when choosing names you have to imagine them as an adult with their name as well as a cute little kid.

Charley50 · 16/07/2018 17:11

I don't l like Indie or Coco much : both sound like nicknames
