Kelsie is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Kelsey, which originated as an English surname derived from place names meaning 'Ceol's island' or 'ship's victory'. This spelling variation gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s as parents sought softer, more distinctly feminine versions of unisex names. Kelsie presents a youthful, friendly quality with its ending 'ie' sound, which gives it a more overtly feminine touch than the original spelling. The name peaked in popularity around 1995 in the United States but has since declined, making it less common for newborns today. Kelsie evokes a sense of approachability and warmth while maintaining a modern feel. The name balances familiarity with uniqueness, being recognizable without being overly common.

Leonie is a chic French and German form of a name that exists in a range of variations from Leona to Leonia to Leon to Leo to Lionel, all newly fashionable after a couple of generations in style limbo. 
 Pronunciation can be confusing: The first syllable can be pronounced as lee or lay, the second as on or own, and the accent can be on either the first or the second syllable or be evenly distributed over all three syllables of the name, so that it sounds like the male name Leon with an ee at the end. Take your pick, but know that others might often pick differently.
 Aunt Leonie is a major character in Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Leonie Hemsworth is the mother of Liam and Chris and Leonie is the name picked by Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel for their daughter.

Derived from the Irish Murchadh, it has the charming meaning of "sea warrior" — a big draw for fans of coastal names and those who value marine conservation.

Less used than Liv or Livvy, Ollie is a boyish nickname for girls, sometimes used for Olivia and Olive. Currently out of the US charts, you might be surprised to learn that Ollie actually ranked more highly for girls than boys in the US between the 1890s and the 1950s. Around 975 girls were given the name in 1919 when it ranked alongside Claire, Goldie, and May.

These days, Ollie is more likely to be chosen as a given name for boys: it's in the England and Wales Top 150, and in the US, Ollie was used two and a half times more often for boys than girls.

Sweet and cuddly, but with a hint of edginess, Tommie is a unisex nickname that fits right in with the likes of Scottie, Stevie, and Frankie. Ultimately from the Aramaic Teʾoma, meaning "twin", it could be used as a pet name for Thomasin, Thomasine, Tamsin, Thomasina, and Tomine.
 
While Tommie for a girl might feel contemporary, it actually made the US Top 1000 every year between 1880 and 1967, peaking in 1935 when it ranked at #320. Notable bearers have included soul singer Tommie Young, influential librarian Tommie Dora Barker, make-up artist Tommie Manderson, and actress Tommie-Amber Pirie.
 
Currently on trend for boys (exclusively) in England and Wales, a recent year saw it given to 51 girls (and 22 boys) in the US, making it, for now, an offbeat option.

He has inspired more than 1000 baby boys to be given this name one recent year in the US, while it was given to 178 baby girls. Impressive numbers.

An "old-man" nickname for girls, Lennie could feel as fresh as Billie, Scottie, and Stevie — and if the 100 Year Rule is anything to go by, it may well be time for it to come back round, having been a US favorite in the early 20th-century. Cutesy but solid, it is sometimes used as a feminine form of Leonard, however, other sources include Eleanor, Ellen, Helen, Helena, Magdalena, Lennon, Lennox, and Gwendolen. 
 
If Lennie feels too Of Mice and Men for you, there's the pan-European Leni to consider too — identical in sound but lighter and fresher in appearance. In fact, it's a charting option in Austria, Germany, and England and Wales.
 
Lennie ranked just outside the England and Wales Top 1000 in a recent year, given to 27 girls (making it as popular as Cerys, Dotty, Marceline, and Saffron in the same year), while in the US it was chosen for 69 girls — the largest number of female Lennies born in a single year since the 1920s.
