“Strong”/ unisex girls names

Some that I like are

Alexandra shortened time Alex or Andi
Helena shortened to Lenny
Dylan
Juliet (obviously not unisex but I think it’s strong sounding)
Brynn
Theo
Edie
Ellen

I tend to shy away from frilly very “girly” names as they tend to only suit girly girls. Can you imagine Ellen Degeners or Cate Blanchett or evening someone like Michelle Obama being called Poppy or Daisy? (Nothing wrong with those names- lovely names but I want something that’s more adaptable to all personality types).

I think pretty much anything not ending in ie feels “ strong”

Margaret is pretty powerful

I don’t think Juliet is strong. Rather the opposite, with the “et” ending. It means little Julia.
Edie is weak too - it’s a diminutive with a cutesy ie ending.
Theo is a boy’s name. Thea for a girl. Dylan is a boy’s name too.
