'Important' sounding girls names?

53 replies

Turry · 15/06/2013 22:45

My favourite girls' name - Arabella - has been vetoed by DH, so I'm now starting from scratch.

I'd like DD to have a 'big' name, something strong but feminine, sounds important, but still quite pretty...

Also nothing too popular if possible.

Thoughts?

Harriet, Madeline, Morgan, Evelyn (although she 'd inevitably end up an Evie, I guess).

Ooh and Araminta (minty for short!)

The strongest female name that's comes to my mind would be Margaret. Its my grandmothers name and I think its strong and feminine just like her, she is the strongest lady I know.

I also think Matilda fits but is popular

Tabitha
Evangeline/ evangelika
Delphine
Hera
