Strong feminine names

[ghouliee]

What do you think of the below names and what similar names would you suggest?

Ramona
Jemima
Paloma
Beatrix
Kassia
Xanthe (zan-thee)
Ianthe (eye-an-thee)
Guinevere (probably not brave enough!)

The first three are my favourites.

I like Cassia better than Kassia.

Others;

Cordelia
Miranda
Saskia
Artemis
Calliope
Cassandra
Calista
Rosalind
Cecilia
Genevieve
Gwendoline/Gwendolyn
Ariadne
Daphne
Claudia
Antonia
Julia

I wouldn’t say Guinevere was a brave name to use. I’ve just been on a Sporcle quiz of the top 5000 names and Isis is on there. Granted I don’t know it rates but someone has still used it. Therefore I think Guinevere should be more than okay.

Based on the names you’ve listed you may also like.
Daphne.
Felicity
Vanessa
Saskia
Anastasia.
Gwendolyn
Eunice.
Cynthia
Natalia.
Alexia.
Eleanor

Ramona - nn Ram, so no
Jemima - love
Paloma - nice
Beatrix - nice. Beatrice is even nicer.
Kassia - yes if spelt Cassia which I love
Xanthe - nice
Ianthe - nice

Guinevere - nice

Just to add, the last three names will be frequently misspelt.

Ramona- as above, would be Ram so no.
Jemima- love this.
Paloma- I think it sounds dated personally although it is nice. Tarnished for me as the 2 I've known haven't been nice people.
Beatrix- I prefer Beatrice, I think it looks nicer on paper.
Kassia- nice but prefer the others.. would be spelt Cassia?
Xanthe (zan-thee)- nope. Would be annoying correcting people
Ianthe (eye-an-thee) -as above and doesnt look feminine to me.. i see Ian.
Guinevere (probably not brave enough!)- I'd say this is a normal name so you wouldn't need to be brave! Also love.

My favourites in order are Jemima, Guinevere, Beatrice.

Suggestions
Anastasia, Alexandra, Annaliese, Seraphina, Susannah, Natasha, Elizabeth, Antonia, Verity

My favourites are Beatrix (prefer Beatrice), Kassia (prefer Cassia) and Jemima (love the nn Jem or Mimi).

Last 4 are gorgeous, especially romantic Guinevere (although I would definitely spell Cassia like the spice/Ancient Roman classical name and personally slightly prefer the “ee-an-thee” pronunciation of Ianthe too).

The others are also pleasant enough - only one I dislike is Ramona, as the “moan” sound puts me off. Similar literary Romola is nicer.

Other suggestions for strong names in a similar vein - Claudia, Antonia, Isolde, Corisande.

I thought of
Desdemona

Angharad
Xena
Zelda

Emmeline
Boudicca (Met one in real life and she was an impressive as she sounded)
Victoria

Not Ramona (moaner)

Love Ramona and Ianthe the most.

Jemima has unpleasant racist connotations for a large swathe of English speaking people (n. American continent).

I like Ramona. The most obvious NN would be Mona, but it's not a given that people will shorten the name!

Astrid

I like Ramona...what about Rebecca or Hannah?

Xenia
Elizabeth
Sasha
Calliope
Ariadne
Veronica
Gwendoline
Sabrina
Athena
Gabriela
Rafaela

Boudicca
Cleopatra
Hypatia
