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.

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

No, Eve Adams (modern) is a Canadian businesswoman and former politician. Eve the rapper is a strong, modern woman.

Anne Hathaway is an Oscar winner. Anna Quinlan is a successful author. Anne Frank inspired generations of people to be strong.

Jane Goodall, for crying out loud. Nothing "fragile" about her. Or Jane Fonda, Jane Krakowski or Jane Lynch.

strongest of all is Athena, imo, but it's nice in that it's *not* the strongest *sounding* name in that it's not too harsh. But what a connotation.

I should have done Athena for my now 15 y.o. DD. (DH said, "but we're not Greek!"
ah, so what!!! Meanwhile years later DH's brother names his kid Julius, and I don't think DH said, "but we're not Roman!"
