Strong girls names like Harper, Echo, Darcey...

[2012baby]

any ideas for similar sorts of names? Pondering this kind of group of unusual but not too frilly names, and finding it hard to think of others. I really like Harper but can't use it now...

They don't sound strong, just silly.

Interesting- those names don't sound strong to me- they sound wet. Particularly Echo- what sort of a names that for a woman? Not even her own voice- just an echo?

Vickery
Mallory
Scout

What about Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Limo, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee or Zulu?

Piper and Merren were our short list for DD1. She's Merren.
If DS had been a DD he'd have been Lara. I think after Lara Croft it can't be anything but a strong name! :o

I know sooooo many Pipers! Geat name but surely going to be top ten this year?

great

None of the names in the thread title say "strong" to me. One says magazine; one says ballet dancer with weird resonance of Jane Austen snob-dandy; and one says nymph that facilitated Zeus's adultery.

I love some of the hideously unfashionable old-lady names like Agatha and especially Agnes. They seem "strong" to me. But I suspect it is all in the eye of the beholder.

I Love Piper and Harper, its a shame VB used Harper. If DS had been a girl she would have been Stevie which is my fave girls name.

Scout and Piper brilliant for dogs.

You seem to like surnames for a baby girl how about Smith or Jones? Likewise occupations Piper, Harper, Bricklayer, Plumber.
Life is easier if you don't have a name you have to constantly spell, pronounce or declare your gender.
