Serious girls’ names

[HarrietM87]

I’m pregnant again (after many losses and it’s early days so might not work out) and if it’s a girl I’d really like a strong and serious name - not one that ends in “ie” or “a” sounds, and nothing cutesy or frilly or floral.

Any thoughts? My son has a classic Irish name so one that would go with that would be nice.

Oooh interesting we both picked Astrid @Nickmylipple I never see that mentioned. I would have chosen it for my DD but we have an A surname so it didn’t sound good.

We’ve got a DD called Harriet.
I’m a chunky, very plain and practical person and knew that no daughter of mine would suit a “fluffy” girly name!
DD is now 30 and a very clever, driven, fearless, strong young woman and suits her strong name perfectly! 😁
