- Nathaly
Origin:
Spelling variation of Natalie/NathalieDescription:
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).

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

Spelling variation of Cory or CoreyDescription:
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.
