Brief, bouncy girl names

Girl Names
1

So this is kind of my style right now, but I know that title is pretty vague, so allow me to elaborate on what that means to me; generally two syllables, ending in an -i/-ie/-y for the most part (with the occasional -on/-en/-er). Sometimes a little vintage sounding ([name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]), sometimes unisex or a little boyish ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Ezri[/name_u], [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]/Mckenzie), sometimes occupational ([name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_m]Miller[/name_m]). And of course, a lot of names that were originally nicknames. I guess I like to straddle the line between pretty and tough, as a person who would want the name to be something the girl could grow into.

I’d love to know if any of you have suggestions, as I’m always looking for them, that even remotely fit that – cutesy names, distinctly boyish names, anything, and what you think about this kind of name (since I see a lot of lovely long girl names around these parts as well!).

(And yes, I know this is a very picky post! :))

I have suggested this many times and havn’t gotten much feedback good or bad , but maybe you would like it because of the “y” endings.
I have been loving vintage 50’s style nicknames like
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]- [name_f]Flossie[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorthy[/name_f]- [name_f]Dot[/name_f]/[name_f]Dottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]- [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] - On your list
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - [name_f]Tillie[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathrine[/name_f]- [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f],[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]- [name_f]Milly[/name_f]

I think these nicknames are so cute
