'Important' sounding girls names?

My favourite girls' name - Arabella - has been vetoed by DH, so I'm now starting from scratch.

I'd like DD to have a 'big' name, something strong but feminine, sounds important, but still quite pretty...

Also nothing too popular if possible.

Thoughts?

Imogen, olive, Georgina, Madeleine, Elizabeth, Victoria.

I'd avoid anything ending in an 'ee' sound.

My RL name has just been mentioned on here, I promise I'm very important Wink

I had Astrid on list for DD (she ended up a Verity)

NigellasGuest · 19/06/2013 21:57

Victoria

fanjodisfunction · 19/06/2013 22:18

The strongest female name that's comes to my mind would be Margaret. Its my grandmothers name and I think its strong and feminine just like her, she is the strongest lady I know.

I also think Matilda fits but is popular

Tabitha
Evangeline/ evangelika
Delphine

notadoctor · 19/06/2013 23:16

Harriet, Madeline, Morgan, Evelyn (although she 'd inevitably end up an Evie, I guess).
