Strong,timeless,unusual,not poncy...

[Idoitforthelove]

Yes, I'm looking for the Holy Grail of girls names.
I don't want anything popular, nor do I want a frilly, girly unusual name (Seraphina, Elodie, Primrose...) or a way out there OTT name (Honeysuckle, Temperance, Jacintha...)
It has to be classic and strong, but still a name that a little girl would be proud of.
Does it exist?
So far, I'm going along the lines of Miranda, Juliet, Helena...but I don't really love any of them. Any ideas mumsnetters?

strong classic underused..

Ann
Ruth

Harriet
Zoe
Tamar
Alexandra
Catherine
Caroline
Seren
Clara

Names ending in a consonant always sound stronger to me than 'a' or 'ie' or 'ia' endings. I thought of:

Karen
Katrin/Catrin
Bridget/Birgit
Martine
Helen
Ellen
Winifred/Freda
Beatrix/Beatriz
Kay
Lauren
Geraldine
Maxine
Monica
Dinah
Patricia
Andrea
Elena
Ricayla
Deborah
Amber
Ruby
Coral
Nina
Cora
Aphra
Joan
Cerys
Astrid
Paris
Alexis
Hope
Morgan
Dorcas
Dorrit
Lois
Siobhan
Erin

Alice
Charlotte
Lucy
Sophie
Tabitha
Rachel
Jessica

Susanna

Beatrice

We had similar criteria (plus the name had to work in Dutch as well as English) and went with Vera. I LOVE DD's name, it's strong but feminine and looks great in print. We also considered Matilda, Frida, Veronica and Jolanda (pron yolanda)

Cecily, Iona, Flora, Audrey.

If I had a girl she would be Bethany or Elouise. I think those both fit your criteria
