Girl names that end in ie

This spelling variation of trending unisex Ari — both diminutives of Hebrew Ariel — means "lion of God".

Kessie is cute but slight.

Like Minnie and Winnie, eccentric enough to appeal to the iconoclastic parent.

Mellie is not Millie and it's not Nellie, though it will forever be confused with those too more familiar nicknames. It's cute, too, and while some of the names it's usually short for may be sailing into the sunset (so long, Melody!), others like Amelia are rising through the ranks and may give Mellie a new chance to shine as a cute girls' nickname. Just be prepared for endless confusion.

Boyish short form of Regina, which is so clunky it's cool.

A captivating and sprightly name brought into the limelight by actress Thandiwe Newton.

Unique and unusual as a nickname and a stand-alone name, Loie is a vintage choice worth reviving. It is traditionally used as a short form of Lois and Louise but would work as a nickname for any Lo- starting name, or even names such as Laura, Eloise, and Charlotte.

The British love nickname-names, and Jorgie is one of those cute baby names for girls among the Top 1000 in the UK but rarely found in the US. It's cute in a retro way -- think the song and movie Georgie Girl -- but perhaps a bit too nouveau given the sultry classic beauty of longer forms Georgia, Georgina, and Georgiana.

Alerie Hightower is the mother of Margaery Tyrell in the hit book and television series Game of Thrones. Though a minor character, we think this name has potential, fitting in with the modern trends of names starting with A and ending in "ie".

Diminutive of Roberta, and a famous surname via actress Margot Robbie.

A sweet (literally) and rare nickname for Charlotte. Lollie would also work as a short form of other names with a strong L sound, such as Elizabeth, Lauren, Lola, Lorelei, and Louisa.
