Annie Oakley or Sundance??
Jumping on Celtic again...
I studied on Celtic Literature (Welsh/Irish), from The Mabinogiion to the Ulster Cycle, so promiment female characters, from warriors, dieties, princesses...
-Queen Medb (Maeve) - Warrior Woman, leader
-Olwen - Daughter of a giant
-Scathach - Warrior Woman, trainer of the hero Cú Chulainn.
-Rhiannon - Promiment figure in Welsh Mythology, wife, mom, possible relation to a horse goddess etc
-Ceridwen - Diety
Etc.
Let's see....famous and/or notorious people. And of course I'll aim with women:
Elizabeth Bathory? Allegedly killed young girls and soaked in their blood in order to keep her youthful appearance.
Mary Read and Anne Bonny? Female pirates.
Boudica? Iceni woman who led a revolt against the Romans.
Eleanor of Aquitaine? One of the most powerful women in medieval history.
Empress Matilda? Fought for the throne as her own right in medieval era.
Hatshepsut? A Queen regent of Egypt who made herself Pharoah.
Hypatia? Great female philosopher/astronomer/mathematician, but was later brutally killed via dismemberment/dragging/flaying (Depending on the version)
Aspasia of Miletus? Influential Greek philospher.
Lizzie Borden? Allegedly killed dad and stepmom with an axe.
Mary Anne Cotton? English woman who allegedly poisoned over 21 people.
Amelia Elizabeth Dyer? Allegedly killed 400 newborns.
Ada Lovelace? A countess who was a mathematician and writer.
Madame de Pompadour? promiment woman in the French courts during the 18th century.
Émilie du Châtelet? Mathematician
Andraste? Celtic War Goddess
Ethelfleda? "Lady of the Mercians", succeeded power after the death of her husband, skilled military leader.
Grainne O'Malley? Irish Pirate during the 16the century.
Joanna of Flanders? Countess who took up arms to defend her town. She led soldiers and defeated her enemies.
Camilla? Amazon Queen.
Blenda? Female hero who leads women and succesfully annihilates a pillaging enemy.
Agustina de Aragon? Legendary figure, defended Spain during the War of Independence, and became an officer.
Not sure if I am helpful or just being a plain nuissance :lol3: anyway, again, goodluck!

Love it! I don't know why but the first thing that pops into my head when I see this picture was Johnny Cash's song Ring of FireThanks for all the input folks... still mulling it over.
Any western theme name ideas?
... yes that's a saddle... in my living room :/
OMG! Really??!! That is way to cuteLord! Lol, I thought this thread would help but now I'm getting more ideas and having an even harder time narrowing it down.
Another cute shot of her... in the saddle stirrup.
Lol it does mildly. But I love the endless fountain of information. I LOVE Sadie!!! But a girlfriend is due next month with a baby girl and calling her Sadie. I'm so excited! No one uses that name anymore and I lobe it! Although strongly thinking about Clementine and Dixie.I forgot about Tabitha, Samantha, and Endora (witches from Bewitched) for Halloween themed names. Also, here's a stretch: We have candy corn at Halloween--Maize (or Maiz) is another name for corn. Maisie (?) is a cute Scottish name that sounds similar. Does your brain hurt yet?
