Spunky / adventurous girls names

[granger19]

Help! I'm due in a few weeks and we have no girls names picked out.

DH doesn't like "granny" names, and I don't want a top 100 name, but we both seem to like bright names with an adventurous / spunky vibe. Kind of like Robyn, Max (nn for Maxine?), Beatrix, Joy, maybe even Kit (not sure what it would be a nn for though) - but none of these we LOVE enough to be the one. Any suggestions?!

Also not a fan of the "hippy" type names like Wren, Juniper etc.

Not even sure if my brief makes sense but really hoping for some fun suggestions :) TIA!

Scout? Or Alex, short for Alexandra.

Astrid.

Kit can be short for Katherine

Alexandra or Alex for short
Millicent or Millie for short
Gabriella or Gaby for short

Kit would be a nickname for Katherine.

I like Scarlett for that spunky vibe.

Zelda
Fearne
Penelope
Seraphine

Ronja/Ronia? First name that popped into my head based on what you are looking for. Like in the book Ronja, the Robber's Daughter.

Roxie
Frankie
Ash
Scarlet
Vivienne
Margot

Goldie (Marigold)?

Google female adventurers:

Famous Female Explorers and Adventurers
Jeanne Baret (1740 – 1807)

Isabella Bird (1831 – 1904)
Nellie Bly (1864 – 1922)

Bessie Coleman (1892 – 1926)

For spunky I like Saffron, Sapphire, Cleo, Edie and Joni.

How about Anouk, Augusta, Xanthe, Juno, Stevie, Astrid, Hero

Oh we have DCs with two of the names you listed! Here are some ideas.

Famous inspiration:
Amelia (Earhart)
Harriet (Boyd-Hawes)
Jacquetta (Hawkes)
Nellie (Bly)

I also love Petra, Ruby, Kate, and Heather (but I'm not sure if Heather is due a comeback yet) as names for girls who know what they want and make it happen.

I've always thought Frances is an excellent name. It makes me think of smart, assertive women.

Stella
Sasha

Pippi of course - what spunkier girl than Pippi Longstocking?!

Piper

Sid
Nina
Ines

Cass/ Tess/ Nell/ Nina

Roberta / Bobbie.

I was desperate to use Fenchurch (nn Fen) or Pembroke (nn Pem) but he was a boy not a girl.

Also maybe:
Andy (Andrea)
George (Georgina)
Zelda
Marla
Finch
Vim (Vimora)
Vie (Violet)

Stella, Astrid, Celeste. Or those fab Blyton Malory Towers names. Pamela. Isobel, Daphne. Belinda. Norah. Peggy. Joan. Dinah.

Scout was actually called Jean Louise. Scout was just a nickname.
