What would be a good name for this character?

At the beginning of the book she's a cheerleader and hangs out with the so-called "popular" kids. But she realized over the summer that she's a lesbian and once her best friend, who she told her secret to in confidence, tells the whole school, people start to discriminate against her and a few homophobic cheerleaders even forbid her from changing in the girls change room, steal her cheerleading uniform and spraypaint the word "Dyyke" on her car, eventually forcing her to quit. She was previously very outgoing, but becomes more introverted after she quits cheerleading and, well, she's basically just your average high school student. Nothing really spectacular or unique. I want a name that sounds fairly ordinary and average, but nothing too common like Brittany, Emily, Rebecca, etc. Also, nothing too feminine, not because she's a lesbian or anything, she's definitely not manly at all, just because she's a very strong, courageous person and I want that that to show in her name, so nothing too dainty or flowery.
