EveMLG's list "Bookish strong girls" of 3 great name ideas: Clio - Anthea!

Bookish strong girls

Girl possibilities that are inspired by literature, mythology, old testament. Names have a strong and assertive vibe.

Clio is the name of the ancient Greek mythological muse of history and heroic poetry, one that is rich with modern charm and would make an intriguing choice, especially thanks to its dynamic o-ending. 
 Unlike the sound-alike Cleo, which brings up visions of Cleopatra, Clio is very much a stand-alone name. The only problem? Some might associate it too heavily with the car model, but that will hopefully fade with time.
 In English, the first syllable is emphasized, however, in the original Greek, it is the second O that is more prominent. 
 If you love Clio, you could consider other Greek muse names: Thalia and Calliope.

Clio

A fragrant herbal and color name that could make a sensitive, distinctive choice. 

Sorrel

This unjustly neglected floral name is smart and crisp, with a touch of Athena, Anna, and Cynthia about it. It also has that stylish Greek mythological heritage: Anthea is an epithet of Hera, the Greek queen of the gods, and her name has been used as poetic symbol of spring. 
 
The pronunciation of Anthea varies slightly depending on language and location. Among English speakers, it's ANN-thee-uh, while it's Greek and in French, it's AHn-TAY-A.
 
Notable bearers include Anthea Disney, a high-powered business executive and distant relative of Walt, and Anthea Turner, a TV presenter.
 Only 10 girls were called Anthea in the US in a recent year, so if you want to go beyond Azalea, Athena, and Anastasia, you might consider Anthea.
