Girls names starting with M that have a nickname

Hi all, my sister is due soon and I'd like to help her find a name for her second daughter. Her and her husband, and his father and late mother all have names starting with M. Her first daughter's name is Matilda (always called Tilly).

She had decided on Grace but is now not totally sure (she hadn't been able to find an M name she liked). The middle name will be Elena (our grandmother's name). Last name starts with T and has 2 syllables.

If the name can have a nickname that does not start with M this would be a bonus.

Oh and it needs to sound nice with Tilly - eg Milly and Tilly sounds silly (lol).

Names that don't start with M but have a nickname starting with M would be OK too
