Girl name inspiration

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to come up with girl names that are strong and beautiful, but not too frou-frou/cutesy, and also not too trendy. What names can you guys think of?

I always think women's names that end in a consonant (or consonant sound) sound stronger and more beautiful and less cutesy than ones that end in an -ie or -a sound. For example:

Maris
Lilith
Carys
Miriam
Constance
Eleanor
Mercedes
Margaret
Maxine
Nadine
Marisol
Maritess

Personal opinions always differ so much, but I like strong & feminine but not frilly names (some of these are a bit borderline)

Adelaide, Augusta, Anouk, Anya, Astrid, Athena, Audra, Bellamy, Blythe, Bianca, Billie, Bridget, Bronte, Camille, Claudine, Clover, Danica, Darcy, Edwina, Elspeth, Elka/Elke, Freya, Fionn,
Greer, Greta, Gwen, Helena, Henrietta, Ingrid, Imogen, Iris, Jacqueline, Juniper, Kara, Maeve, Martha, Matilda, Morgana, Myka, Nina, Nora, Octavia, Odette, Opal, Orla, Paloma, Priya, Quinn, Ramona, Rowan, Ruth, Sabine, Sage, Saskia, Tabitha, Tanith, Tamsin, Tessa, Tully, Vada/Vida, Verity, Veronica, Willa, Xanthe, Zelda
