Strong girls names- if I like these, what else might I like?

[Thistledew]

Really need to get some options for DD, due in April!

Contenders so far are:

Erica
Erin
Freya
Bethany/Bettany
Alexis

I'm hoping not to repeat our slight mistake with DS- we thought that Sebastian would be a relatively unusual but not too 'out there' name. Turns out it is one of the most popular boys names for his generation in our area of SW London!

Would you consider Andie?

I have an Emily but her nn is Millicent which is a fab strong name ( Wish I'd gone with that originally!)

Does anybody choose names for their meaning, which relates to their individual baby, when born or the in the weeks after birth?

Rowan
Willow
Katrin
Scarlett
Petrova

It's hard finding a strong name that doesn't sound really old fashioned

Elliot is nice

Or

Oriana
(Strong, unusual but still feminine)

Rosalind
Miranda
Damaris
Annis
Jordan
Jocelyn
Morgan
Rowan
Hero
Horatia
Theodora
Judith
Ingrid
Rhoda

What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.

I love Eliot for a girl, but I have a real thing for 'boy' names for girls :)

I wanted to call DS Evanne if he was a girl.

Or what about

Caroline
Mirren
Rebecca
Duane
Elin
Frances
Jennifer

Dyane not Duane!

Harriet

We had Elliott as our favourite for a boy however our last baby was a girl and I wasnt brave enough to use it for her. However i really wish we had, so if you like it use it. We went for Emily instead.

Erin and Freya are very popular. So is Evelyn. How about: Artemis, Esther, Natalia, Hermione

Helena
Joan

Astrid
Edith
Adelaide
Cressida
Greta
Miranda

@Cyberworrier - I really wanted to call DD Dorothea but DH not keen. Chose Hester ( The Scarlet Letter) instead.

Claudia? I don't like Elliot, Bettany, Dominique or Alexis, sorry OP. Erin, Bethany, Erica, Freya, Eliza and Evelyn are all really lovely though.

From your suggestions I love Eliza!

How about Tess?

I have an Erica and I love it. She gets lots of comments and haven’t come across another one yet.
I also liked Claudia, Tessa, Philipa, Cara, Caroline, Josephine, Harriet, Sadie, Lois.

In our family we have an Antonia

Carmen
Samantha
Cassandra
Isidora
Tallulah
Regan
Ophelia
Aurelia

For what it’s worth @Thistledew I think I must live not too far from you and I don’t know any sebastians. How many have you come accross?

Here are my girls name suggestions:

Imogen
Sadie
Willa
Edith / Edie
Margaret /Maggie
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie /Ottie
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Holly
Cleo

I always think Morven or Mirren are strong girls names.

Harriet! Means ruler of the home so is pretty strong.

I tend to think of names with what I call 'definite endings' as sounding stronger than those ending with an 'uh' or 'ee' sound. I'd go for something along these lines...
Alice
Agnes
Astrid
Abigail
Beatrice
Bridget
Charlotte
Constance
Clementine

Edith
Eloise
Elise

Emmeline
Florence
Harriet
