Tough pregnancy and looking for baby girl's names that mean strong or similar

Hey all
Looking for baby girl names that have a meaning like strong or brave or warrior or something in that vein

My baby was almost born at 25 weeks but she's still in and going strong, we'd like a name that reflects how we think of her, but haven't found anything meaningful and pretty

Any thoughts ? Smile

How about Willow? A tree known for its flexibility and resilience, it can withstand the elements without breaking. Or -

Matilda - German, 'Battle mighty'
Trudy - German, 'Spear of Strength'
Ursula - Latin, 'Little female bear'
Leona / Leonie - Latin, 'Lioness'
Petra - Greek, 'Rock, stone'
.

Other ideas:

Cleo - Greek, 'Glory', plus short for Cleopatra, one of the most powerful women in history
Victoria - Latin, 'Victory'
Ailsa - Scottish, 'Elf victory'
Vera - Russian, 'Faith'
Zoe - Greek, 'Life'

I know a Saxon in real life

I love the name and it really suits her. So what about Saxon?

June or Juno - the protectress of pregnant women

AnyaMoondial · 02/05/2021 06:49

Matilda means mighty in battle.

Elwynne · 02/05/2021 06:57

Louise means warrior queen

Hera?

hellohellosailor · 02/05/2021 07:29

I called my baby Matilda as she had a lot of issues when she was born. The 'mighty in battle' meaning suited her struggles. She goes by Tilly

Pinkypink · 02/05/2021 09:07

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
I love Thea or Gabrielle

ThatIsMyPotato · 02/05/2021 09:10

I was going to suggest Leona

MercyBodle · 02/05/2021 09:14

I see Bridget has already been mentioned. I know a little Bridget whose parents chose it loving the meaning of 'strength' as well as the strong sounds of the name.

Enko · 02/05/2021 09:26

Maude- battle mighty
Aila - from the strong place
Bree - strength
