So we found out that we're having a second girl, sister to Alice. We would love another classic name, but we've also found out that she is going to be born with some lung issues and will need to be a little fighter to get through it.
So perhaps names that mean strength, hope or something similar? Or just strong sounding names that go with Alice. Hit me with some ideas!

Certainly not Theresa Grin

Hope is lovely.

lazycrazyhazy · 01/06/2017 13:06

Thea? Theodora? Thea was a Titaness in Greek mythology I believe. Trying to think of the female of Thor but that escapes me...

Zoe - it means life. Lovely name.

Wishing you and your baby all the best

Louise was what I was going to suggest or Helen meaning light, brightness (think light at the end of the tunnel) could be seen as strength.

BikeRunSki · 01/06/2017 13:33

Hope

(Also goes well with Alice, they are my DD's middle names).

CherPat · 01/06/2017 13:35

Hope is a lovely name

Backhometothenorth · 01/06/2017 14:11

Matilda or Bridget both have this meaning

NameyMcNamerson83 · 01/06/2017 19:56

Alice and Hope, or Alice and Faith, are both lovely.

Alice & Valerie (strong, valient)
Alice & Valentina (healthy, strong)
Alice & Aurora (dawn, new beginnings etc)
Alice & Victoria (Victory)
Alice & Brianna (strong)
Alice & Audrey (noble strength)
Alice & Matilda (battle, power, mighty)
Alice & Maude (battle, mighty)
Alice & Bridget (power, strength, vigour)
Alice & Willow (bend, not break. Flexibility, resilience)
Alice & Lenna (lion-heart)
Alice & Vera (faith)
Alice & Nadine (hope)
Alice & Violet (flower symbols faith)

Eloise and Eloisa also mean strong/warrior.

ShinyGirl · 01/06/2017 20:54

Faith is lovely

Elbi · 01/06/2017 20:56

This site's quite good for searching by meaning www.babynamespedia.com/search/f/strong

Hilde

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 02/06/2017 12:51

My first thought was Matilda. I've always loved it, goes well with Alice and means 'mighty in battle.' I hope everything goes well for you all. x

squoosh · 02/06/2017 13:24

I like the names with an unabashedly tough meaning such as Matilda and Valentina. Hope seems a bit wishy washy.

Best of luck to all of you!

Victoria goes beautifully and means victory
