Strong Female names

[Chocolatehunter]

Hi, please help, we're pretty much set on boys names but stuck on girls. I'm looking for something that's strong but feminine but dh is an Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece geek and keeps suggesting names a little bit too out there. Any suggestions?

Artemis? Greek goddess of hunting

Stella
Rita
Olive
Freya
Kate
Rebecca

Oh and we're Welsh as well so would consider Welsh names. I quite like Rhianydd (Ree-ann-ith) and Alys. Dh likes Hera and Arya

Hera would sound lovely in a welsh accent

Evelyn
Georgia
Heidi
Harriet
Lydia

Arya.
Nesta
Adriana
Cassandra

Elizabeth

Heledd
Olwen
Catrin
Edith
Helena
Robyn
Bridie

Sioned
Siwan
LLinos

Some solid roman ones:

Julia
Poppaea
Augusta
Octavia
Sibyl
Aurelia
Claudia
Helena
Sabina
Diana

I really like Sabina.

Ps isn't Arya from Game of Thrones ;)

I've never heard of Rhiannyd before but it's gorgeous! One of the nicest names I've ever heard. Love Arya too.

Names I consider strong but feminine:
Anna, Anastasia, Aurelia, Arabella, Beatrice, Bethan, Bronwen, Claudia, Caroline, Charlotte, Constance, Cerys, Emma, Emmeline, Eloise, Erin, Esther, Florence, Grace, Giselle, Harriet, Helena, Isobel, Imogen, Juliet, Josephine, Katelyn, Katherine, Lauren, Lois, Miriam, Madeleine, Miranda, Nicole, Natasha, Philippa, Rhiannon, Robyn, Rachel, Sarah, Suzannah, Sorrell, Tamsin, Victoria, Violet, Yasmin, Ysanne.

Hera Hera Hera.

Please pretty please.

Was on our list for DC3 who was a boy. [narrows eyes balefully in 3 year old's direction]

You can have the name we'd chosen for a girl if you like (currently expecting ds2, so will never get to use it, sob).

Gwen.

But I also like Arya too.

P.s care to share your boys names? We're stumped!

Penelope

I like the idea of us all being descended through the maternal line to 7 tribes/ 7 women (It has been traced through the female carried mitochondrial DNA) These 7 "daughters of Eve" have each been given a strong female name ... they include Helena, Ursula, Jasmine. I forget the others. But how about Helena ?

Athena
Hera (love it)
Helena
Sophia
Freya

Olympia
Penelope
Christabel (Pankhurst)
Elizabeth
Xanthe
Diana
Helena

Juno

Love Alys.

Ffion?
Angharad?

Oh no, I'm even more confused now, some really great names. Hera, Juno and Helena are currently coming out as great choices. DH is also feeling very happy about this post!

Some great names, shame I'm done. need to get a dog

Modwenna

I like Arya.
Also love Anya.

Enya
Octavia
Cordelia
Athena
Enya
Flora
