A strong girl name

We're thinking about names for a baby girl and have settled on Geneva. I like it but I'm not in love with it. It's perhaps a bit too feminine for my tastes. However, I've gone through an entire baby book but can't seem to find anything I like quite as much. So, I'm taking suggestions for names which are any one (or combination) of the following:

strong
modern
gender neutral/possibly considered a boys name

example: Morgan

The last name will be Bush, so no flower suggestions please :)

I like Geneva and Morgan. Some other ideas:

Kegan (I know two girls with this name and no boys, even though it's "really" a boys name. Pronounced like Megan with a K, not like Keegan.)
Joan (not modern or gender neutral but strong and not too feminine-sounding)
Astrid (same comments as Joan)
Rory
Jesse / Jessie
Jordan
Cameron

- Astrid (Astrid1992)

Wow, those just came out of my really fast! Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like that none of your choices ends in A. That seems to be the hallmark of most girl names. Quinn is probably my favorite from your list. Lee/Leigh is actually going to be her middle name if we stick with Geneva. And August is a good choice, but it's already my son's middle name :)
