Hey all
Looking for baby girl names that have a meaning like strong or brave or warrior or something in that vein

My baby was almost born at 25 weeks but she's still in and going strong, we'd like a name that reflects how we think of her, but haven't found anything meaningful and pretty

Any thoughts ? Smile
