Girls' names which sound strong and self assured

[DKanin]

Can anyone suggest any girls' names that sound strong, confident and self assured? I'm helping think of a name for my DNiece and would really appreciate some suggestions!

Lara

Marian
Ursula
Scheherazade
Elektra
Anouk
Manon
Carmen
Elizabeth/Elisheva
Paloma
Uma

Monica

Meredith
Lydia
Anna
Frances
Miriam

Maud, Hilary, Boudicca.

Titania

I thing single syllable names always sound strong.
Kate
Elle
Faye
Meg
Tess

I love the name Alex. I know it could go either way, for a girl or a boy, but to me it sounds confident and carefree for a girl.

I'd have to disagree. I think 'boys' names for girls give a weak message. Boys never get given 'girls' names and that's because it's seen as a demotion for boys. Which means you think giving a boys' name to a girl is somehow a promotion. I think it's the opposite of strong.

Gertrude
Ava
Hanna
Laura
Patricia
Jane
Briget

MrsTerryPratchett - 100% agreee.

Erin

Rebecca

Alex isn't a boy's name though. It's a nickname which could be for either Alexander or Alexandra.

And Alexandra fits the "strong and self assured" bill perfectly.

Claudia is nice

Allegra - it means happiness
agree that Elizabeth and Katharine are strong, classic names
Caroline - I don't much like the name but I've never met one I would dare cross. They are always a force to be reckoned with! And Carrie is a cute shortened version.
Claudia - no idea why but it feels strong
Portia - Shakespeare's strongest heroine
Hero

I know a woman called Aroha - pronounced Arrow - every time I hear her name it sounds so strong and powerful, I love it.

Definitely Alexandra too. that's a great name.

Hestia
Lucia
Judith
Naomi
Justine
Brigid

Storm

Allegra

Hilary (boy of girl)

Stella
Adele
Ramone
Thea
Bethan
Carla
Scarlett
Danielle
Sophie

Boys never get given 'girls' names and that's because it's seen as a demotion for boys.

Peyton Manning, Terry Bradshaw, Lindsay Buckingham, Sandy Koufax, Stacy Keach and Leslie Nielsen didn't fare too badly despite their, um, demotions And I wouldn’t classify Stevie Nicks, Glenn Close, Drew Barrymore, Daryl Hannah and Sean Young as weak.

All those are culturally boys names.

Aroha is a Maaori name it should be pronounced Arrow-huh :)
