***URGENT***Name for a feisty /firey girl please.

[justnotsure]

Please no chav.

No Blaze,Courtney-May, Minky-Rae etc.

My daughter already does not suit her name it is far to gentle for her even dh agrees (I am amazed by this) but I am flummoxed as to what we could call her instead as we had Nell, Annie, Constance and Dolly on our lists and neither of them fit either.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed, I really want to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later I think we have 5 weeks before we can't change it officially.

silver, cynthia?

oh is Georgina feisty then?

Ginger (could be short for Virginia)?

oh my friend has just had a baby called Christabel
I LOVE it

Xanthe can mean golden or blond, not just yellow. my Xanthe is not remotely frilly.

Iniga means fiery, I think. (or Inigo for a boy)

nora great name for an upfront lass. I've known some cracking nora's and all great women!

Lilian (cf the Archers)
Kate (cf Taming of the Shrew)
Nancy (cf Swallows and Amazon

Could you call her "Tiger Lily" so get around changing her name?

Suffragettes - Emmeline, Octavia?
Veronica is a strong name.Or have we had Bathsheba? Boudicaa?

Heather?

Hmm who is that warrior princess from the telly...
Or Becky after Becky Sharp
Or Alexis after her from Dynasty...

Xenia!

Wallace
Fenella
tally

Cleopatra

Ah yes, but bad attitude to chickens, that xenia.
"Grendels's mother"

Lucia

I reckon Lily's fine.

Remember Joy in Drop The Dead Donkey?

Diana (Wonder Woman)

Lucrezia / Lucretia

Red

Portia

Billie.
Ariel.

I love Portia but it means 'pig like'.

inga, finola, nola, fionnuala, teal, tehila, tola, twyla, tullia, gretel, dianne, joye, joyce, tal, garnet.

Interesting Spidermama. Portia could also mean gift or offering in Latin.

But really it was the association with the character in The Merchant of Venice that I like. Intelligent, loyal and determined - fabulous qualities for a woman.
