Girls' names which sound strong and self assured

Can anyone suggest any girls' names that sound strong, confident and self assured? I'm helping think of a name for my DNiece and would really appreciate some suggestions!

I'd have to disagree. I think 'boys' names for girls give a weak message. Boys never get given 'girls' names and that's because it's seen as a demotion for boys. Which means you think giving a boys' name to a girl is somehow a promotion. I think it's the opposite of strong.

I love the name Alex. I know it could go either way, for a girl or a boy, but to me it sounds confident and carefree for a girl.

I thing single syllable names always sound strong.

Love Eleanor, but I love the nicknames it lends itself to as well. Ellie, Nori, Nora, love them.
