Cute but "spunky" baby girl name suggestions needed!

Okay, I have quite specific requirements for baby girl 2 but haven't come across "the one" yet.

I like: Amber, Phoebe, Matilda,

I like names that are easily spelled/pronounced, but not top 10, have a little bit of an edge and could stand the test of time. Ideally around 5-8 letters and not end in the letter Y.

I always mention this but Valentina, the first women in space, it's easy to spell, has an awesome back story and has a lot of options for diminutives.

I have a y11 Mathilda and she is very feisty. She has a shaved head, wears Docs and is a passionate feminist. She goes by Mattie at school.

However, I never would have described her name as "spunky" before I had her. It's her personality that makes her that way. I feel the same about Amber and Phoebe. They feel feminine and a bit wet tbh.

I love Miriam for a girl as suggested above. And Aphra.
