              • Nathaly
                • Origin:

                  Spelling variation of Natalie/Nathalie
                • Description:

                  This variant of the more popular spellings swaps out the -ie ending for a y, though the result is a name that is more reminiscent of Italy than a girl's name. While it has ranked in the US Top 1000 since 2004, it sits a couple hundred spots behind Nathalie (Number 670), and it pales in comparison to the constant Natalie (Number 31).
              • Gitty
                • Origin:

                  Diminutive of Gittel, Yiddish
                • Meaning:

                  "good"
                • Description:

                  Chirpy, upbeat Jewish nickname. Gitty was traditionally short for the Yiddish name Gittel, but now is more common as an independent name.
              • Korey
                • Origin:

                  Spelling variation of Cory or Corey
                • Description:

                  Korey was never widely used for girls, while sisters Cory and Corey faded from the Top 1000 in the mid-90s though they hang on for boys. With the rise of the classic name Cora, derived from the Greek goddess name Kore, Korey may find new life as a nickname.

                • Description:

                  Irish surname-names are hugely popular for girls in the US these days, with Riley and Kennedy ranking high on the official popularity lists. Connery is uncommon, but certainly attractive and usable.

                  • Description:

                    In the Middle Ages, Margaret became Margery, Cecilia became Cecily, and Amabel became Mabel ... and Mabely. Chaucer mentions the name briefly in The Canterbury Tales.
