The only ones I can think of are Cameron, Riley and Harriet. Any other suggestions?

If you want a 'strong' name, go for a consonant (or consonant sound) at the end. Surname names are another possibility, but I'm not keen unless they are actually your grandmother's maiden name etc.

From my generation I think Helen, Kate, Rachel sound strong.

Americans go in for quite masculine names. Taylor, Tucker, etc...

An ex-colleague has recently named her DD Bryce.

Germaine. Because of Greer. Not necessarily a bad thing though.
