I’ve covered the delicate sounding names, now on to the strong ones. These are the names that basically do all the talking for themselves. These girls are strong, independant, and basically, kick butt. These names remind me of [name_f]Merida[/name_f] from Disney’s Brave, or a warrior princess, one who’s not going to take anything lightly and who’s always up for a challenge. I think of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_m]Barton[/name_m], women that I’d be honoured to have something in common with.
They are;
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (making it on to both lists, because, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_m]Barton[/name_m] makes it strong and gives it backbone, but somehow, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] still has a delicate edge)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u])
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ([name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m])
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronte[/name_f] ([name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] sisters connection, and much prefer [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f])
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] ([name_f]Florence[/name_f] Nightingale)
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] Pankhurst)
Love Bronte! She definitely feels strong and determined! Bronwen has a similar sound but seems quieter, a bit calmer and less fiery in my mind. From your list Agatha, Edith, and Martha have that same Strong, Feisty feel to them that Bronwen does. Names have that feel to me are:
Hildemara
Eliza
Alessandra
Donelda
Marilla (Love Marilla from Anne of Green Gables)
Fiona
Catriona
Bretta
Greta
Bridget
Sybil
Casilda
Everild
Adelheid
Genevieve
Lucinda
Minerva
Lavinia
Deborah
I just wanted to throw a couple out there that I think sound strong:
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
