Girl names ending in ie or y

Struggling with girl names. I've come to the conclusion I like names ending with ie or y. I love the name Lexie but my concern is it rhymes with sexy....this is by far my favourite as is my husbands but not sure I can see past it haha.
I also like:
Darcie (husband not keen but like a lot)
Maisie (husband not keen)
Chloe (you guessed it...husband not keen)
Holly (not overly keen but he likes it)
Millie (both quite like this)
Lottie ( both quite like this)
Evie (both quite like this and family name, too common?)
Sophia (same as above?)
Ella (both have always liked but associate it with someone I know who isn't very nice)

Any thoughts or suggestions? We also like Jasmine which bucks our trend slightly

Daisy, Polly and Lucy are all brilliant.
Holly is good too.
Heidi is really cute.

Jasmine is beautiful.

Years ago as an English assistant in a French school I came across the name Elodie and thought it was lovely so mentally tucked it away to be given to my future daughter...but have sons so never got the chance!

How about Frankie/Danni/Charlie?

I have a Frankie (Francesca), and I love the masculine/unisex feel of these names. Quite cool but not too ‘out there’.

Marjorie
Mandy
Julie
Felicity
Georgie
Nancy
Penny
Sally
Trudie
Winnie

SueDunome · 31/07/2018 22:18

How about Amelia, nn Millie or Charlotte, nn Lottie. It will give her more choice when she's older.

forevernotyoung · 31/07/2018 22:15

Alexandra shortened to Lexie?

Ididnothearthat · 31/07/2018 22:08
