I like strong punchy girls' names.

So:

Rosa
Nina
Nancy
Aphra
Frieda
Margaret

Nancy

Nina or Frieda... but I prefer the spelling Frida.

Fantastic list...my favourites are Nancy Frieda and Aphra

Frieda of Aphra.

Rosa or Margaret

Rosa

I love aphra.
Wouldn't describe some of these as strong or punchy though, everyone will see them differently.

V true Ohyes. What do you think is strong and punchy.

I think for me that I associate these names with strong and punchy women like Nina Simone, Rosa Parkes, Frieda Kahlo, Aphra Behn, Nancy Drew (ha ha!)... and oddly my grandmother who was a female surgeon called Margaret.

Rosa and Nina, both really fab names

Rosa or Nina.

Rosa

Rosa

Magaret

Nancy

Nancy first, Rosa second :)

Surprised at all the positivity for Nina here, I was teased no end for having that as a name growing up and as a result can't stand it! I also wouldn't describe it as 'punchy'.

Nancy is also really not strong and punchy at all, conversely it actually sounds very flouncy, it is a nice name though!

What were the people who were teasing saying about the name?

@HangingRock 'neeeenahneeeenahneeeenahneeeenah' (as in a siren!), yes it was primary school but I've never forgotten it!

Nina

Rosa

Yes that would have been irritating.

Nina

Rosa

Rosa is my favourite by miles
Nina next

Not too fussed on Margaret as it seems quite old fashioned IMO

I'm thankful sirens no longer go neeee-nah. That old UK two tone siren has mainly been replaced with the US wail style siren. kids now in primary schools hear that instead so I doubt it would be an issue for a little Nina.

I just asked my four year to make a siren sound and it was definitely more of a wail sound that he made.
