Baby girl names not ending in a vowel

I'm due my third baby girl soon and looking for name inspiration. I don't want a name ending in an 'a' or 'et' sound (may clash a bit with my first 2). I'm also not too keen on the name ending in 'ie' or 'y' sound. I like longer names that can be shortened and happy for the nick name to end in ie/y e.g Madeline nn Maddie. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Difficult isn't it as some names that don't end in a vowel, like Audrey, can have the 'ee' sound at the end.

Josephine ends in a vowel but thought I might throw it into the mix as you gave the example of Madeline.

I've only met a few Josie's and they've all been absolutely lovely. Same with Shirley but again that does have the 'we' sound.
