I agree with @katinka - it definitely depends on what you perceive as strong! For me, names that feel ‘strong’ are usually ones that either have a fiery, independent fictional namesake or are of mythological derivation. The main ones that stand out for me as strong and beautiful are [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], Amélie, [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
names of strong, inspirational, women :
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Parker[/name_u] ([name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_m]Parks[/name_m] is AMAZING)

[name_u]Marie[/name_u] ([name_u]Marie[/name_u] Curie)
[name_u]Joan[/name_u], [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] (St. [name_u]Joan[/name_u] of [name_m]Arc[/name_m]!!!)
