Strong girl names

I am looking for a girls name for my third child. We have an older son and daughter. I would prefer each child have their own initial (which rules out E and R names) but otherwise don’t have any rules about name length or sound. My husband likes quite pretty sounding names. He suggested flora and Stella - both lovely names but I want to find something which I feel has a little more strength to it. Our older daughter is named Etta which ticked the boxes for both of us. Any ideas?

Also he says I like ‘victorian’ names which he most definitely does not - so modern name ideas appreciated (although he’s right, I do like older names).

I like Margot. But also, maybe Willa? I'm going to let this marinate and see if I can think of anything else.

Willa is perfect, would love more ideas like that if you think of any? I only ruled it out because I have a brother named Will. Thanks @faithinthesound

If your husband likes Flora but you'd prefer something stronger, how about Thora? God(ess) of thunder!

I know a Morven, she's got a very strong personality. I don't like Lyla, it reminds me of a lilo!

Matilda. It means mighty battler in German apparently... It's our daughter's middle name and suits her perfectly!

Hero! (I am going to suggest this in every girls name board until somebody uses it because I couldn't with my three boys )
Or Helen. Helen's a great name too.
