Hello, my husband and I have been looking for a strong female name, but we're pretty stumped. We want a name that would be good for a tough-as-nails businesswoman that puts all her coworkers in their place, but also work for a little girl. I also want a name that is easy to pronounce and spell (so not SUPER unusual) but not one of the top 50 names out there either. Many of the names I like are a little too feminine and not strong enough- like Sienna, Phoebe, Amara and Petra. The only names I've come up with that I think fit my strong criteria so far are Carmen and Anya, but they just don't "do it" for me. (I like Victoria and Zoe too, but they are too popular ) Any suggestions?

I have to say I love the name Sienna.....I just gave birth to my first baby this morning and Named her Sienna....But here are a few other names that you may like:


Ainslee
Ciann
Harley
McKinlee
Brooklyn
Brenna
Brea
Harper

Thats all I can think of...hope I helped....Good luck picking out a name. I didnt make my finally discion on what I was gonna name my baby till 30minutes after she was born...kept going back and forth between Sienna Mae and Sienna Rose and Ainslee Sienna..and I went with Sienna Mae. God bless you!!!

Congratulations on your little girl! Yes, Sienna is one of our favorites, and it's a very sweet name! I do like many of the suggestions here though, like Maeve and Gia. (Gia as a NN for....Gianna?)

What about Emory for a girl? I really like it because it's unheard of but easy to spell and pronounce.

Also:
Harlynn
Blaire
Makenna
Wynter
Ava
Jolie


Those are just a few of my picks.
