Emmy
English diminutive of Emily and Emma
"work; universal"
Long a nickname for all the Em-names, as well as an annual award, Emmy is now being given on its own, as are soundalikes Emme and Emmi. Might be too identified with the TV awards--though that doesn't…

Darcie
Variation of Darcy, Irish or French

Jessalie
Karlie
Variation of Carly, English
"free man"
Supermodel Karlie Kloss lends this spelling variation some style. Having appeared in the US Top 1000 since 1991, it was in trouble of dropping off completely when it ranked Number 992 in 2009. Since…
