Agree Kate is a very strong name [forceful, takes-no-shit Kate emoticon]

Elizabeth - esp shortened to Liz or Eliza

My daughter is Kate Augusta. I am liking this thread!

Also considered Hannah and would have liked Georgina/ Alexandra (but that is my sister and SIL so couldn't have them).

Audrey- means noble strength.

Love Astrid.

Alexandra is the least wishy washy girls name I know too.

But I'm biased as it's my name. Alex is a bad ass name for an older girl too :)

Aurora, That was going to be the name baby girl i never had.

Alice
