Traditional girls names - alternatives to Elizabeth

[SunnyDaisies]

We am looking for baby girl name ideas as we are currently expecting number 3 and are now really stuck!

I love traditional names that can be shortened to sweet nicknames, especially nicknames that end in an -ie or -y sound.

Absolutely love, but can’t use:
Annabel (or any name shortening to Annie)
Elizabeth - already close relatives with these names

Your ideas will be gratefully accepted!

I'm a Victoria and my sister Elizabeth

You couldn’t use Elizabeth with a different nn to your relative? There are so many.. or you could use a variation like Elsbeth which would give you Buffy, Effie, Essie, Ellie, Elsie, Betsy, Betty

Anna / Annalise / Annis - Annie or Nancy

Susannah - Sukey, Annie, Susie, Nancy

Lydia - Liddy

Eleanor/Helena - Ellie, Lenny, Nell, Lena

Dorothea/Dorothy - Dorrie, Dorey, Dottie, Dot, Dora, Thea

Margaret/Marguerite - Margo, Maggie, Peggy and (traditionally/weirdly) Daisy

Caroline - Callie

Marianne - Maisie, May, Polly, Molly, Nancy, Annie

Mary / Maria - May, Maisie, Polly, Molly, Minnie, Min

Marina - Marnie

Frances / Francesca - Frankie, Franca, Francie, Frannie, Chessie, Chesca

Victoria - Vicky, Tory, Vita (I also know a Plum)

Alexandra - Alecky, Sandie, Ally, Sacha, Andie

Stephanie - Stevie

Georgina - Georgie, Gigi

Henrietta - Harriet, Hetty, Hatty, Hennie, Harrie, Etta

Cordelia, Cordelia - Cordy,

Natalia - Tally, Natasha, Tasha, Sasha

Patricia - Pasha, Tish, Patchy

We have a Katharine. The only problem is that it can be spelled many, many, ways.

I know it doesn't fit your nickname criteria, but a friend's daughter is called Bethany and that's all anyone ever calls her (so you still get the "ee" ending.) I really love her name.
