Either hypothetically for yourself, or your child....Here are my choices.

Name with a great meaning: Namrah (means Tigress)
Name that just sounds lovely: Andriana
A heroine's name: Kate
Name of your heart-throb's love-interest: Gertrude (I kid ye not!)
Name which would suit you: Diana

(Gertrude is the wife of the gorgeously cute Snorre, in the original cartoon series Vicky the Viking.
My heroine Kate is the pop-star puppet Kate Kestrel, in the Gerry Anderson show Terrahawks.)
