A sister for Maisie and Birdie
I'm looking for a girl's name to go with Maisie Cordelia and Birdie Emmeline (prn. Em-eh-leen).
The problem is I have a touch of OCD and I've kinda put myself in a box it seems! Both the girls' names have 6 letter 1st names that end in -ie/are considered nicknames (though they don't seem too nickname-y to me and work fine on their own) and 8 letter middle names. Though we already have her middle name picked out: it'll be Adelaide after OH's great aunt Addie.
I *think* I could be okay with a name that ends in -y so long as it has 6 letters.
Some first names I like:
Sylvie (one of my top picks, but I'm not sure if it sounds too french next to the very english sounding Maisie and Birdie?)
Tillie (another top pick. Matilda has ALWAYS been one of my favorite names and I love that it has 2 "i's" like Maisie and Birdie. I know—I'm weird!)
Trixie (OH has nixed this one, he says it reminds him of a stripper name)
Tessie
Millie (I'm not sure if it's too much with Maisie ?)
Hattie
Again, her middle name's going to be Adelaide.
I'd love your guys's opinions/suggestions!
Thank you sooooo much in advance!

I love Sylvie! I don't think it sounds out-of-place, in comparison to Maisie and Birdie. It's my personal fave out of the options you have listed.
Some others:
Aubrie
Audrie (although these two many not work, considering the MN)
Carrie
Cherie
Colbie
Dottie
Dulcie
Goldie (love this one!)
Kizzie
Ruthie
Zoelie

I think Sylvie Adelaide would be really cute! I don't think it sounds too French with Maisie and Birdie. I actually think it goes with them really well. I also liked Hattie from your list. Hattie Adelaide is adorable! I do really like Tillie, as well, but I love the name Matilda and almost think you should go with Matilda with the nickname option of Millie or Tillie, or even Mattie. Other names you might like:

Sammie
Pearlie
Amy

Mamie
Julie
Annie
Lily
Molly
Sadie
Franny
Francie
Opal
Maggie
Sophie

Sonya
Freja, Freya
Carrie

I really like Dulcie and actually Goldie was a name I was in love with... until OH pointed out our daughters have pretty dark hair. He says she'd be a walking oxymoron. Men. lol
Names I really liked from other posters:
Sookie (but only spelled this way Sukey/Sukie kinda make me think of sucky.)
Hallie
Lottie
I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys, but thank you so much you've given me some really great suggestions and I appreciate it so much!
