Calling all sci-fi and 80's geeks!

Help us choose a middle name, that no-one will ever hear because no-one cares about middle names. Ha! Looking for suggestions from pre-2000 sci-fi (nothing too modern) or tv shows or from 80's cartoons. Nobody evil, no such thing as too out there. For a girl.

I was liking Servalan then I found this:

She was a cold, calculating, ruthless sociopath who was not above using her sex appeal and charm to get what she wanted.

Lol, not quite who I hope my daughter to be.
