Abigail ( for Abigail Adams)

What the actual hades? Is that a Kre8ive spelling of something?

OP wanted a strong name, which I think should come with strong spelling. If you really want a name like this spelled correctly (whatever THAT means), then we wouldn't use Latin letters. Most of the names here are so passive sounding and looking (e.g. Anne????, Jane, Eve). To each their own.

NP. Do you get that Anne Boleyn was a badass bitch who directly help to bring Protestantism to England and much of Europe? She was a rare woman who held a the royal title of a man--Marquess of Pembroke--and owned property in her own right. Yes, she went down, but she went down swinging and her daughter, Elizabeth, held the crown against all odds.

Do you get that Jane is the name of one of the first successful female authors in Europe, Jane Austen?

Eve is the freaking mother of civilization in the Christian tradition. And also a hell of a rapper/singer/entertainer. Respect.

Anne
Jane

But I when I think of a strong female name, Kate always comes to mind. She could be a Katherine, but never a Katie.

Yep, but today those names are for sweet, little girls, and recall the fragile female. BTW one of those names is mine.

Today those names are for female people -- just as they used to be. It's not like the Name Police make you change your name if your parents named you Anne, Jane, or Eve, but you grew up to be a not-small or not-sweet woman.

+ 1 Also, resist the idea that for a girl’s name to be strong, it needs to be unisex or a boy’s name.

A “strong spelling?” Like with Ks and stuff? I assume OP wants a name that’s strong like a Monarch or CEO, not strong as in her grip on that pole.

Differences of opinion. No big deal. I just don't find most of the suggested names as strong. Most are the same recycled "classic" English-friendly names repeaed ad nauseam on this board. Most do meet OP's request for simple names, which I presume meant easy for any English-speaking American to pronounce. OP, there's nothing inherently wrong with any of these names.
