Looking for "non-girly" girl names

monalisa577 · September 2014

Hi, all. I'm looking for girls' names that aren't overly soft and pretty. I tend to like stronger names with harder consonants, i.e. K, G, D, etc. And I do prefer actual female names, I'm not looking to name my potential daughter Blake or Spencer or anything like that. Any suggestions?

Just for reference:

Dislike: Rose, Isla, Charlotte
Like (but vetoed): Kirsten, Diane, Juno

Thanks!

Catherine "Cat" or Katherine "Kate" would be a nice choice. A solid classic female name without being ultra girly in sound. I mean, it is very feminine because it is so well known but the sound itself is not girly.

Blair, Blythe, Daphne, Greta, Cara, Dara, Astrid... just a few ideas that came to mind.

Oh or Jane. Jane is so feminine without being frilly at all. It has a simplicity to it. I'll try to think of some others.

Carys is a nice one too. What about Claudine? I like it a bit better than Claudia.
