How about Heike. Sounds similar and is a German girls name.

Heike is pronounced High-ke, whereas Heidi is pronounced Haigh-dee, so not really the same in German.

I don't like either pronounced in English.

I love Heike, and Silke, but Heidi sounds incredibly old-fashioned to me, and makes me think of goats.
