Strong girl names

[properandprim]

I'm after girls names that are strong, pretty and not frequently used. The names we quite like all seem pretty different to each other, so I'm not sure it would help to give examples, especially since none are 'quite right' but I'll try:

• Rosa - too popular
• Beatrix - we don't like the shortenings
• Frieda - just not convinced
• Domino - the pizza chain link is a shame!
• Juno - can't use
• Delphi - seems a little unfinished, but then Delphine seems quite fussy
• Tess - a bit simple?
• Celeste - not sure it sounds that 'strong'

Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks :)

Maeve, Emer, Maud, Cora, Ruth, Ursula, Astrid, Anna, Constance, Petra, Áine, Clara.

I like Tess what about Thea or Thea?

*Thora!

Elizabeth. To my mind, that is the strongest girls' name there is. Not Beth though - that's weak. But other short forms Liz, Lizzie, Eliza. All strong.

And if you keep it as Elizabeth, that is really strong.

Elspeth is strong too.

Lol yes! You wouldn't mess with a Thora🤣

I will forever suggest chevelle!

Harley? Too edged for a girl?

I’m finding it quite interesting to hear the different views on female names of strength. There’s some I’m personally baffled by, and others I think I would choose if I was having another dd. But its all relative and people take different perspectives of the same name. Hope the op is inspired and finds the right one somewhere.

My niece is called Stevie. I quite like it as it’s slightly masculine/androgynous, so gives off strong independent woman vibes.

I've got a Sylvie and when she was a little dot she was as sweet and pretty as her name suggests.

Now she's a beautiful yet difficult teenager taller than me and she's been through it a bit but is strong and brave and extremely awesome. So, sylvie is a strong name now.

Give your baby girl any name you like and show her she can be strong and brave and resilient and then her name will be strong girl's name.

Also, in reference to someone else's suggestion, my lovely Sylvie had a fearsome female cat called Hero. That's a flipping strong girl's name too, imo
