Which name best fits my character?

In my book I have a character who is a witch who leaves her coven to help my main character, Noelle, fight against them. I originally named her Devyn, but I've been told it sounds trampy and I DON'T want that. Besides, I don't think it fits her well. She has platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes with pale skin. She is often found staring off into the distance and is a girl of few words. She is 14 years old.

A few names I have picked out are:

Indira (I love this one, but a character's name is Iris so I can't really use it...)

McKenna

Juliet

Leola/Leona/Enola

Trinity

Lynne

But if you have a better one please suggest them! Thank you so much! This will for sure help me!

Update:

No offense, Kelly, but how an you be sure a 14 year old is a tramp by a two sentence summary? She's just a shy girl who's a witch, but can't you tell she's a good person by leaving a coven of others like her to fight against them? Really?

Oh, and I've already considered Destiny, but I felt it was too obvious... Yeah...

    Trinity or Juliet would be nice I like Zoey too and I think it fits the whole quiet girl idea.

    I don't think Devyn sounds trampy at all to be honest! You could change it to Devon or Debhon if you wanted a plainer spelling.

    I like Indira, but obviously you can't use that with Iris. McKenna, Lynne and Leona are also very good names. I think that Juliet conjures up the image of type of girl you described.

    Juliet is the best one because most people would think about Shakespeare and the immediately think the opposite of 'trampy' .

    Just name your character Devyn. From your description she sounds like a tramp.
