Ball pythons being the shy sweeties they are, for an anime name I think more along the lines of Hinata
Adorable, beautiful, but still can kick some serious butt when she needs to!
Even though I know you wanted 'strong' female names.. I consider her a strong female..in a different way. XD She fights through her SERIOUS EMOTIONAL ISSUES hahahaha! LOL Nevermind, I might just use that name instead, ahaha!
But of course I can't stand Sakura, so I'm always going to like Hinata better anyway!
Ahh, all my favorite anime names are boys. I mostly like some of the classics (Trigun.. I can rewatch that series a million times over and never be bored of it<3) and they are mostly male dominant unfortunately!
Um, I liked Hikaru off of Ouran Highschool. ANY of the female characters from ANY of the phoenix wright games (Mia, Maya, Franziska, Emma, all so excellent)
