#WordWeavers 2411.14 — Were there any other names you considered for your MC?

Everybody has the name "child (or so -and-so's child) for their 1000 days, at which time they pick their own. First names are about as good as you would expect. As an author telling the origin story and early adult stories of one particular MC, I got to pick a half dozen because I couldn't use her well-known elite chosen name. She's a runaway. She has a prizefighting name, a mobster name, a nursery rhyme name she accepted from her childhood bff, and one she got when her mob boss foisted her when she got her official emancipation papers. She blurted another made up one when renegade G-men cornered her into a corruption deal. When she later assumes certain titles and positions, she appends them all together with place names and ranks.

I've exhausted a lot of possibilities naming this character! Not much more to consider.
