Strong girls' names

I'd love to ask for your thoughts on strong girls' names. I'm not madly keen on the Poppy/Millie/Esme girly names that are popular at the moment, and would like something strong and elegant.

(Not much to ask!)

We are adopting and never thought that we'd have the chance to name a child ourselves, but it's looking like we're about to be matched with a young baby whose name the social workers will advise us to change for security reasons (if we are lucky enough for the match to go ahead Smile)

Many thanks!

I'm so happy for you OP, you'll soon be a family 😄💐
I like Margaret Frances or Frances Margaret.

So...we've gone with Florence. Definitely on the girlier end of the spectrum but just felt right. Margaret plus surname would have been MIL's exact name, so in the end for us it had connotations of a different generation. But I still think it's lovely and elegant...
