DH and I can't agree on name for our DD due in two weeks. Can anyone suggest any girls names of a similar vibe to the following:

Hermione
Verity
Esme
Rose

I'm looking for something strong but feminine I think.

Thank you!

Those names are nice, but flowery rather than 'strong' IMHO.

How about:

Harriet
Georgina
Alice
Charlotte
Eleanor
Annabel
Margaret
Juliet
Emma
Astrid

Andriana actually means "strong", and it sounds so alluringly feminine.

Also, Rosamund is a 'stronger' variant of Rosa (IMO).

The last two baby girls born round here are Vada and Zora which are lovely, I think.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Harriet Matilda seems the most popular, and since Matilda was the last name to be crossed off the first name shortlist DH and I both agree it is the best choice. Decision made!

Meredith - we have one and when we told my Dad her name he said 'ah she'll go far with a good strong name like that!'
She certainly has a strong personality!!!!
