Help me name an all-female group of mercenaries

[NewJeffCT]

I'm stuck with Iron Maidens in my head, and I don't want that, as I'm sure it will get laughs at the table (Old man: "Put them in the Iron Maiden"... Bill & Ted, "Excellent!!"... Old Man: "execute them"... Bill & Ted, "Bogus!") or else, have people thinking of the 80s heavy metal band. Iron Maiden has become a huge mental block for me.

This is an all-female group of warriors that hire themselves out as mercenaries. They are generally good-aligned and have a solid reputation as reliable fighters.

What I'm looking for is to avoid anything with "Amazon" or sexiness in the name, but also want to make sure people know they're female, but not just "The Female Fighters" or "The Woman Warriors" or "The Wanton Foxes" or something like that.

Thanks

Maybe something from mythology?

The Dire (or insert other descriptive adjective here) Furies?
The (adjective) Vaklyries?

There's the easy: Sisters of Battle. "Oh, they're women."

Or something that references a famous female of the setting: Athena's Arrow. "Athena is a goddess of war. Oh, and the mercenaries are all women."

Or the ironic: Lady-Killers. "Oh, so it's not a bunch of suave guys; they're ladies who kill people."

Name them simply after their leader? Lady Marshen's Mercenaries.

Daughters of Death.

Her Hundred Swords. (whoever she is)

 

[BenBrown]

Daughters of Athena

(yes, I know, all you greek mythology buffs out there)

 

[SkredlitheOgre]

The Chosen of Athena
Sekhmet's Sisters
Bellona's Brigade

Although, I do like 'The Wanton Foxes.' But that's just me.

 

[Summer-Knight925]

The Menstrual Minstrels.

 

[RainOfSteel]

The Arc of Heaven.

 

[Kaodi]

The Crimson Lillies

Or a little more tongue in cheek: The Hearty Housewives or just The Hearty Wives.

Maybe Silk and Steel.

Even The Thorns of a Dozen Roses, or The Bouquette's Thorns.

Perhaps The Cat's Claws.

The Widows of War.

Mother Bears.

The Breathtakers.

The Striking Sisterhood.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Look to the one with the highest CHR, use her name as part of the group name.

X's Battle Maidens
X's Hellions
Wenches of the Blade
Death Whores
Amazons
Valkyries
Siriens
