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!

I don't think pp was thinking of the soap when suggesting Lux, Confused. More likely the character in The Virgin Suicides, or the Latin word for light. I love Lux, it's a great name.

Of course they weren't thinking soap but the child will spend a lot of time encountering people who do unfortunately.

I LOVE the name Lux and it was on our list... did put it on here on another thread and yes did get shot down about the soap connection... had never heard of the soap before and am pretty sure that the majority of people would think 'light' not soap

Also really love Suki

I agree with pps that Indie and Coco both fit "fluffy" rather than "edgy" for me! I have worked with a child Coco and honestly 90% of other professionals who came in to contact with her commented what a ridiculous name was...

I know adult women called Tabz and Finn which are more what I would consider edgy! I think they are Tabatha and Fionnuala officially.

Hate to burst your(soap) bubble but most people wouldn't have a clue and would more likely think it short for luxury or the brand of soap.

Some of these suggestions are just ridiculous

Que a load of babies in 16-18 years time trying to change their names by deed poll

Ridiculous

Love the name Lux and I first heard of it as a name from the Netflix series, Life Unexpected.

I knew a girl named Stevie once. Very cool.

Finn, Piper, Evan, Lena, Pepper, Quinn, Scarlett ... I love the name Stevie too (maybe because I think of Stevie Nicks and she is cool)
