Not Claudie

I’m unexpectedly pregnant with #2 and I’m trying to focus on names to help me get excited.

Can anyone suggest French girl names that end in ie? Not Amelie. If possible a bit more unusual. Two syllables or maybe three.

I really love Claudie but not the meaning (lame/crippled) so something similar would be nice.

I know not French but I also really like Maely… So I guess wildcard suggestions welcome too.

Are you actually in France or UK?

Aurelie works in France but not here.

I prefer Maelys (which I love) to Maely.

I've always liked Annsofie (with the emphasis on the first syllable) and Rosalie

Noemie
Novalie

Mabli (Welsh but perhaps along the same lines as Maely)

How about popping over the border to Germany and using Heidi?

Cecilie (sorry can't get accents on this keyboard easily)
Natalie
Marie

I really like Aurelie, but I'm afraid that now it sounds too much like 'orally' and could lead to teasing
