Like Alexandria and Josephine etc.

Not even sure if the sex but if it's another girl I want her to have a strong name.

Thanks, really like carmen. I've always liked Irish names like Aine and Clodagh but am not Irish enough!

No suggestions really but I like the premise that strong doesn't mean boys names! Emmeline, Louise, Judith, Leah, Abigail.

I really like it too but don't want an extension of a boys name. Jo is such a cool girls name Smile
