Strong, no frills vs. girl name needed

My husband loves surnames and unisex names for our daughter while I prefer... girl names. I’m a firm believer in having a name and knowing what gender the person is. He doesn’t really care and almost prefers it the other way around! His favorite names are Tierney, Beckett and Bardot. His problem is he thinks my names are too frilly. I like Isabella, Elisabeth, Anabel. Can anyone think of names that are strong but not unisex and will please both of us?

Genie's Mailbag

Carina in Canada
Dear Genie, I need you to help me find a Greek name for a girl. I've already used Theodore and Sebastian for her siblings. But every other Greek girl's name I see is either too pretentious, hard to pronounce, or just too popular now. The only name I can picture using is Caroline, but it's not Greek!
Baby Name Genie:
The Greeks would name her Charissa Zoe. Then, they would stuff her in a wooden horse and give her to the Trojans. So, my advice would be to borrow the name but not the rest of their tactics.
