Sassy names for girls?

Sassie

Define what you mean by Sassy please.

I think of salsa dancers fro some reason
and then I think they might be called
Liani or Savanna or Zerlina

Saskia?

Names that imply strength, maybe someone independent, feisty, that sort of thing

Freya

Maya (after Maya Angelou, an amazingly strong woman)

i like them janeite.

Who is maya angelou (sorry for being dense)

Germaine

Well my dd is feisty and independent, and she's a Philippa/Pippa.

Saskia
Cora
Scarlett

maya angelou

She was sexually abused as a child and became mute for 5 years; later was a teenage mum but has done LOADS of stuff - amazing.

isadora

Janeite - I've ordered "I know why the caged bird sings".

I'm loving all the suggestions, gonna show them to my DH later

Eve.

Freya doesn't sound sassy at all to me. Probably just because it sounds a bit like fey I imagine someone a bit fey.

Missy

Harriet

Manky - I've already got an Eva!

I vote for Harriet - then you can call them Harry when they are older as it sounds cool and sassy!

Oh and it is DDs name so I know it is super cool!

Freya is a bit drippy IMO!

Freya is a Norse goddess.

I was going for the "strong connotations" names, rather than sassiness.

Harriet is a lovely name though - I wanted it for dd2 but dp didn't like it. Men!

Sylvia (Plath/Pankhurst) another possibility.

Thought there was an article in the Telegraph or Observer this week about Maya Angelou and her daughter hated her!

Sadie
Leila
Polly
Gina
Zoe
Wilma
Hattie
Uma

Oh I love Harriet too. My DH wouldn't allow it for DD2 ...seems to be a trend with that name and that suggests to me that men are scared of 'Harriets' due to their extreme 'Sassiness'
