Any suggestions?

I don't really like Andy for a boy but quite like the idea of Andy/Andie for a girl. Any similar suggestions?!

Do you mean a girls name that sounds strong?
Not a girls name that gets shortened to a boys name to make it sound 'stronger' (somehow)

I always like looking at the Greek or Roman goddess names for strong names that are still feminine but not girly.

Minerva, Diana, Hestia etc
