Wildly popular in the 1960s and '70s, Julie is no longer anywhere near as stylish as the name's longer forms. Try Juliet, Juliana, or even the more grownup Julia.

Odette is the good swan in Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, a role for which Natalie Portman won an Oscar ---and it would make a particularly sophisticated yet upbeat choice. In fact, it charted in the US charts in 2025 for the first time since 1905!
 
Also popular in Belgium where it ranked in the Top 100 in a recent year, Odette is a diminutive of Odilia or Oda, which are in turn relatives of Otto, meaning "wealthy". With the stylish appeal of Ottilie and the renewed interest in Otto itself, perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that this one has made the charts. 
 The name first became publicized during World War II via the courageous French Resistance heroine Odette Brailly, who risked her life to supply information to the Allies. She was captured by the Germans, and wrote her story which was retold in an eponymous film.
 
Other Odettes include Odette de Crecy, the flamboyant wife of Charles Swann in Proust's A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, and the daughters of actor Mark Ruffalo and Sunrise Coigney, Nikki and Isaac Hanson, and Jared and Genevieve Padalecki.

A contemporary spelling of a vintage nickname, Maizie ensures that it would get pronounced MAYZ-ee over MAYS-ee. While some may find it too reminiscent of "maize", as in the corn plant, this may be part of the appeal for others, giving it a subtle nature link.
 
A once popular choice in England and Wales, peaking in 2010 when it ranked in the Top 250, Maizie made its debut in the US charts in 2025 when it climbed 138 places up the charts. Given to 295 girls, Maisie was chosen for more than four times as many girls in the same year, when it was chosen for 1328 babies.

A recommended Nameberry fave, Emmeline hopped onto the US Top 1000 in 2014 for the first time ever. While it is genuinely an old name, it was rarely used a century ago; only 17 baby girls were named Emmeline in 1915, the same number as were named Ernie!
 A popular medieval name, Emmeline was introduced to Britain by the Normans. It appeared as a character in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is famous in Britain as the name of the illustrious suffragette, Emmeline Pankhurst. Way back in 1980, it was the name of young Brooke Shields's innocent character in The Blue Lagoon. More recently, Emmeline Vance was a witch in the Harry Potter series.

With sweet, sparky Rosalie revived and ranking in the US Top 200, this variant is also catching on. While some may consider it a modern, creative spelling, it has long been used in the US. In fact, it was in the Top 1000 from 1902, right up until 1951, and had appeared sporadically in the popularity charts before that too.
 
With plenty of vintage charm, Rosalee makes a cosy alternative spelling option to Rosalie, with the additional bonus that it could be read as a compound of Rosa and Lee, giving it the alternative meaning of "rose meadow". As such, it may work as a more direct honor name for those wanting to honor a Lee, but also fit in with other vintage choices like Marilee and Carolee. 
 
The name also appeared in the TV show Grimm, borne by the character Rosalee Calvert, played by Bree Turner. The airing of the show coincided with a renewed interest in Rosalee, which doubled in usage between 2012 and 2017.

And along for the ride are spelling variations Maisy and Mazie.
