Valerie

• This is our daughter's name, we chose it because it is very feminine and there should be no confusion as to whether she's a girl or boy later on. Also it isn't wildly popular but has also never really been out of fashion, and it is not hard to spell or pronounce. It means strong or valorous, not a bad thing to be in this world of ours.
• People probably think of the chick on Beverly Hills, but I still like it. Definitely for a spunky girl!

Valerie is a French form of the Latin name Valeria (Valerius is the male form). This name is said to come from the Latin word valere meaning "to be healthy; strong."
