I need spunky girl names!

I am looking for any girl names that you think have spunk and spirit to them. I am a very spirited person-fun-loving, like to laugh and have a good time, full of fire! So I am trying to think of names that would kind of fit this personality too. They can be classic or trendy-just names that make you think of a girl with a great personality! :) Thanks for all suggestions!

Oh, as an aside-one of my favorite girl names is Brenna. Do you see this as a spunky or more sedate name? Thank you! :)

I can see Brenna as being feisty...not sure if that's the same as spunky. I just picture her having a bit of an edge.

Names I think of as spunky:

Annie
Gemma
Marley
Sidney
Zoe

First, this is a great criteria for picking a girl's name, IMO!

Brenna is a lovely name, with lots of spunk.

Here are some other spunky faves-

Vivian which means lively
Jillian means youthful

Names that sound spunky to me are-

Zoe, Laney, Lexi, Kylie, Eleni, Macy, Correy, Bella, Sophie, Ansley, Tabatha, Samantha, Jenny, Blair, Bree, Reese, Eve, Ruby, Summer, Sierra, Chloe, Eden, Fiona, Joy, Bliss, Gabby, Celeste, Addie, Evie, Josie, Tess, Sadie, Sky, Keely, Natalie

More unusual- Jacey, Greer, Sage, Dacey, Leonie, Brency, Breck, Thea, Xanthe, Ellery, Whitley, Sloane, Cagney, Delilah, Lilac, Ivy, Janie, Tierney, Fallon, Beatrix, Noe, Nicolette, Roxie, Glory, Cleo, Sybil, Piper

By the way, my mom and dad chose my name (Ginger) b/c they were hoping I'd be the spice of their lives... (warning- she may live up to her potential- LOL)

And, the ultimate spitfire name, IMO, is Scarlett!

Best wishes, Ginger

Brenna does seem more sedate to me. How about Molly, Ruby, or Samantha (Sam)?

I like the idea of a little ball of fire too! These are some of the names that bring that image to my mind.

Bridget
Kacie
Rylie
Karly (Carly)

I'm sure everyone will have different ones though! Good luck!

Hmm ... I think of Brenna as a bit more sedate, but the right little girl could easily change my mind on that one!

Some others (that may have been mentioned ... sorry for repeats!):

Rosie (as a nn for Rose ... popular as a mn, but sweet AND spunky for a fn IMO)
Fiona/Fiora
Finola
Fallon
Devanie (2nd dd's name ... everyone comments on how spunky it/she is)
Devri
Delanie
Delia
Dara (sister's name)
Isla (LOVE this)
Imogen
Tegan

I'm sure there are tons more but that's all I can think of right now. ;)

I really appreciate all of the great replies! :) Here are some of the suggestions I really like:

Carly (this is a fave of mine)
Annie
Kylie
Calista
Eve
Gabby
Keely
Jacey
Sage
Fallon
Joy
Summer
Ginger (I've always liked your name! It epitomizes spunkiness to me! :) )
Scarlett
Nicolette
Joy
Bridget (have always loved. Being part Irish, I do love Irish names the most!)

You guys gave me such a great list! I'm still on the fence about Brenna. I have always been so drawn to it but sometimes I'm not sure if it's too quiet of a name, if that makes sense. It's so pretty though to me. Anyway, THANK YOU and any more suggestions are welcome too!
