...a confident, successful young woman, what would you name her?
I have completely pinched this idea from an earlier thread about naming a baby girl who was handed to you - but it's easy to think of cute baby girl names!

Interesting! I added Felicity to my list thinking that I was considering a grown up dd, but when I think about it properly, it does seem cutesy/little girl-y.

Eva

I know it's very popular but it's such a lovely name - so strong, attractive and womanly

Same as my little girls names I'm afraid. Orla. Martha.

Thea ;)

I do think it's great that we are all picking our girls names as that's what we can see working in the future. I won't name my youngest as that will out me. My Thea is exactly what you are looking for - a grown up name from a grown up person (sniffle how can I have a grown up?)
