Hey everyone! I love the name [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] but I don’t like how popular it is in the UK. I’m looking for a nickname or cute spunky name that A) isn’t in the US/UK top 100 B) doesn’t end in a k, hard c or hard g. Preferably nothing with too many consonants together (for example, [name_f]Mamie[/name_f] would be much easier for me to pronounce than [name_f]Pearly[/name_f]). Things I love about [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] are its cute sound, how it’s easy to say and spell and that it’s well-known but distinctive.
Names I already have and like but not as much as [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]: [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f], [name_f]Effie[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_u]Lou[/name_u], [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Roxy[/name_f], [name_f]Prudie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Edie[/name_f]
Thanks so much for any replies!

I find that other [name_m]German[/name_m] diminutives have the same feel: [name_f]Mitzi[/name_f], [name_f]Liesl[/name_f], [name_f]Franzi[/name_f], [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f]
My first thought was [name_f]Helen[/name_f], though it ends in a hard consonant sound. But for some reason, [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] give me the same vibes.
I also like PP’s suggestion of [name_f]Lena[/name_f] and [name_f]Greta[/name_f]. Maybe you’d like:
