The Girl Group

Any

So I was playing with a friend's kid while we were visiting, and the kid's name is "Hannah" which means that her family calls her "Hannah Banana." Very cute. (For the record, her sister is "Riley Smiley.")

Except I wondered if a group of women might adopt names like that, ones that reflect their powers instead of their actual names. Something like:

Kristy Fisty
The strong woman of the group, and the one who likes more than anyone else to fight.
Jade Fade
Teleporter or invisibility; you could go full Sue Storm and add force fields.
Jenny Many
Duplicator, possibly with other powers as well. Or she's Jenny Any, who acts as the face for the group because she can shapeshift into, well, anything. "I've lived as a man. They act like they have PMS. All. The. Friggin'. Time."
Margot Cargo
She can shrink something down and carry it. People too, with extra effort.
Mary Ferry
And how do you get from there to here? Or move the cops from here to there? Mary Ferry, of course.
Molly Jolly
And where would they be without the emotion controller? I mean, telepath and telekinetic as well, but she chooses to name herself for the emotion control.
Wendy Bendy
Who goes places where others can't, so long as there's not a hermetic seal? Wendy Bendy. She's very good at opening locks from the inside.

I just have this image of burly tattooed women kicking open the door and one of them shouting, "We're the effin' princesses! Hands on your heads!"

(If I were to use this idea and write them up, I'd put more thought into who does what, how many people do they really need, and what names sound distinct enough to be used as code names.)
