Help[Opinions] "Femme Fatale" names
This is more a discussion of the kind of names we give characters, rather than real people. I made a post a while back about "mean girl" names with this same intent, but that got some pushback, so I want to state right out the gate: I am not judging real bearers of these names in any way.

What are names that give a "femme fatale" image? It doesn't really matter the era - could be film noir / 1940s or today, or maybe even futuristic - but what are names that make you think of a woman wielding her femininity as a weapon, expertly playing the people around her like pieces on a chessboard?
Two names that immediately come to mind for me are Sasha and Natasha, and I'm not completely sure why. Maybe the "-asha" endings remind me of swishing fabric? I'm really interested to read what people come up with!
