Create the perfect lawyer name.

If you could create the perfect female lawyer name, what would it be?
Fun question MeFites. Say you got to make up a name for a successful, professional female lawyer at a big New York City firm. What would you name her?
I have read a lot about the impact of a person's name on their perceived job competence; I'm planning to poll for names in this manner for various professions and see if what people choose differs depending on job or if professional-sounding names seem similar across the board.
Some suggestions I think are good (what do you think of these?):
1. Sophie Germaine
2. Jane Faraday
3. Lisa Fitzgerald
4. Amy Yeats
5. Anna Hemingway
6. Lena Fitzgerald

Is being white important?
