Baby Names
Looking for a healthy dose of SPUNK!
We found out last week that we are expecting a baby girl, but we are struggling with a name. One thing we can agree on is that this is one spunky baby and we want her name to reflect that. We've tossed around the idea of Scarlett and Ivy, but we aren't really sold on either (and by "we", I mean my husband). Examples of other names I consider spunky are: Remi, Cleo, Delilah and Lilith, but these names just don't feel right. So what names do you consider spunky?

I really like veganxangel's list...and apparently I'm not the only one, hehehehe.
Spunk says punchy and short to me, which is why Betty has always seemed like a spunky name. It can fit so many personalities, and I can see spunky as one of them.
I also think Wren and Zoe are spunky as well. Granted, it's my own definition.

I think Zoe is pretty spunky!
Our little girl is a spunky as they come and her name is Alexis...we call her Lexi :0)
Cleo is what popped into my mind as soon as I read your subject header (before I read your post).
ETA: I also think Clementine (nn Clem). Like Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind.
We decided on Betsy for DD after seeing her throw a tantrum during an ultrasound--we thought it was a fiesty/spunky name. It fits her perfectly.
I think double names can be spunky, too--I adore Liza Jane. I think I'd love to be friends with someone named Liza Jane--she'd be the girl who talks the other kids into doing something scandalous and then charms all their parents into letting them off easy. If B's full name wasn't Elizabeth, I would definitely name my next DD Eliza Jane.
I agree that Eliza is full of spunk. However, I already have a daughter named Alyssa, so unfortunately it's out. Keep the ideas comin'!
