Just curious...
In your opinion, what would be some good names for an overachieving, Type A woman in her early twenties? You can suggest as many as you want. "An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way." -Charles Bukowski

Any of the classics would work: Ann / Anne (but more likely the spelling without the 'e'), Elizabeth (nicknames Beth and Liz - no Lizzy), Hannah, Mary, Rachel, Sarah.Other names that would work are ones that might seem old-fashioned or dated at first (but are not flowery):Ellen
Harriet
Jaclyn "Jackie"
Janet
Lucy
MarthaAnother two I just thought of were Adrian / Adrianne and Stephanie, nickname "Steph."

Alexandra, which I think others have suggested. Anne-Marie.Simone.Justine.

Chelsea, Natalie, Jordan, Brooke, Claire. Those all seem to be standard names for her age, and I happen to associate a lot of those names with over-acheivers I know.

From personal experience I'd say Anna, Allegra, Jessica, and Madeline. Otherwise any name that is relatively common and lacks personality. All of the overachieving Type A women I know are bland bundles of stress who can't seem to live in the moment even in their free time. lol
