Vintage Girl Names That End in -ie

For those looking for an old-fashioned girl name that ends in -ie, options abound. From popular options such as Ellie, Rosalie, Elsie and Annie to more surprising but equally beautiful possibilities (Lettie, Lottie, Nellie), this list has it all!

1. Ellie. Today, you're way more likely to hear this beautiful comeback name in the playground than a nursing home, but it does still carry a certain vintage charm.
2. Rosalie. One of the most popular names ending in -ie on this list.
3. Elsie. A sweet girls' name that sounds simultanously vintage and modern.
4. Annie. An old-fashioned girl's name that's starting to feel fresh again, but is still very much rooted in tradition.
5. Hattie. The epitome of "what's old is new again".
6. Rosie. Rosie gives you a cute, old-school -ie name with a floral twist.
7. Bonnie. A little dated, but not completely out-of-place.
8. Frankie. A perky ie-ender with unisex appeal.
9. Marie. The French version of Mary, the versatile Marie is equally good for a child or an adult, a singer or a senator.
10. Winnie. The kind of sepia-tinted but not frumpy name that might appeal to modern parents.
11. Nellie. Although Nellie still has that old-school vintage feel, it's rapidly losing its "grandma" image.
12. Lillie. Lily may be the most popular spelling today, but for those who love all things vintage, this old-school spelling might be more appealing.
13. Goldie. Depending on who you ask, Goldie is either a forgotten gem with great potential, or a dreadfully dowdy title best left in the past.
14. Birdie. If you're looking for an old-fashioned animal-inspired name for your little bundle, Birdie leaps from the sky to the cradle with ease.
15. Billie. Award-winning singer Billie Eilish takes this name from old lady to modern woman.
16. Dixie. The perfect blend of spark and sweet.
17. Ruthie. This one may have hold appeal for religious parents.
18. Mattie. One of the many vintage names ending in -tie. Others include Hattie, Lettie and Lottie.
19. Lottie. A sister for Lizzie, an alternative to Lettie.
20. Marjorie. This name has cycled in and out of fashion since at least medieval times. Its last peak was in the 1920s, which begs the question: when are we going to see a new crop of baby Marjories?
21. Mazie. A Z-powered -ie ender that's full of zeal and zest.
22. Lettie. A terribly dated title to one person; an overlooked retro gem to another.
23. Addie. A nickname for names like Adelaide and Adeline, Addie has also been used on its own. As a given name, Addie peaked in the 1920s.
24. Janie. A variation of Jane, Janie strikes a throwback vibe that may or may not appeal.
25. Tillie. Considered too clunky not too long ago, Tillie has entered the realm of possibility.
26. Rosemarie. All the old-school charm of Rosemary, with a French twist.
27. Dottie. To many people, Dottie still sounds irrevocably frumpy; to some young parents, however, it's a beautiful, old girl's name ripe for the taking.
28. Georgie. Another option with a gender-bending vibe.
29. Ollie. If you're looking for a cute old-fashioned O-name with the -ie suffix, this is it.
30. Effie. For some, this Euphemia short form summons The Hunger Games character Effie Trinket; for others, it brings to mind the 19th-century British socialite Effie Gray whose life was the subject of a 2014 film of the same name.
31. Lizzie. Today most often used as a nickname for names like Elizabeth and Annelise, Lizzie was also a common given name in the late 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century.
32. Susie. Last in the Top 100 more than a century ago.
33. Jackie. For many, Jackie Kennedy leaps to mind. You could definitely do worse than name your baby after the 35th First Lady of the United States.
34. Minnie. A sweet vintage name with a warm, friendly sound and Disney bona fides.
35. Jennie. Jennifer may have been a chart topper in the 1970s and 80s, but Jennie was the "it" version in the 1920s and 30s.
36. Fannie. Time was, Fannie was considered a cute girls' name, but today, it sounds irretrievably dated to some people, and rude to others.
37. Connie. A bit too mid-century for most of us, but might work for the intrepid baby namer looking for a short C name with a nicknamey vibe.
38. Sammie. A sweet and sassy blast-from-the-past.
39. Tommie. Choose this unisex name, and you're set even if your baby turns out not to be a girl.
40. Johnnie. Thousands of American girls were given this unisex name in the first part of the 20th century, but today, it would take a gutsy couple to choose Johnnie for their daughter.
41. Roxie. Strikes the perfect balance between edgy and sweet.
42. Rubie. A variation of the gemstone-inspired Ruby.
43. Essie. Just the kind old-fashioned but not fusty moniker that could easily transition into the category of cool, fresh-sounding baby names.
44. Debbie. Debbie's glory days are long gone. But if you're looking for that element of surprise, a baby called Debbie would be sure to shock your mother!
45. Ottilie. One of the frillier names on this list, this beautiful vintage moniker pretty much disappeared from the baby naming lexicon in the second half of the twentieth century but that is now being revived by some forward-thinking parents.
46. Lennie. As a given name, Lennie has actually been used much more often for girls than boys, but because both Lennie and Lenny (with a Y) are common nicknames for boys' names like Leonard, Lennie has a pretty strong masculine vibe.
47. Sallie. A variation of the much more popular Sally.
48. Mamie. This one's been out of commission for a while now, and you're not likely to meet a baby Mamie anytime soon.
49. Bessie. Hopelessly covered with cobwebs? Or in line for revival?
50. Nettie. An old lady name headed for obscurity, or a cool comeback candidate? We're not sure.
51. Dollie. A variation of the more popular Dolly.
52. Lovie. Lovie might be cute on a small child, but it's not going to be helpful for a grown woman who wants to be taken seriously.
53. Bertie. A nickname for Alberta but also used as independent given name, Bertie peaked more than a century ago.
54. Margie. Margie may not do well on the contemporary cool-o-meter, but there's no denying that as a baby name, it does offer that element of surprise so many new parents are seeking.
55. Maudie. Maude was a firm fixture on baby name charts in the 1800s, but Maudie also had some fans.
56. Tessie. A long-lost gem in need of a revival, or an impossibly fusty girls' name with no future? Your call.
57. Bettie. A less common variation of Betty.
58. Dovie. This bird-inspired moniker was moderately popular at the turn of the twentieth century.
59. Ettie. Seems to be heading for extinction...
60. Jannie. Has Jannie been out of favor long enough to sound fresh and cool again? We'll let you decide...
61. Dessie. If you're after a rarity with a vintage feel and pared-down femininity, Dessie might appeal.
62. Clemmie. A short version of the sweet comeback name Clementine.
63. Eugenie. A variation of Eugenia with modern royal flair via Princess Eugenie.
64. Cordie. A diminutive of Cordelia. Was occasionally used as an independent name at the turn of the 20th century.
65. Flossie. To some ears, Flossie is a cheek-pinching old lady with gray hair. To others, it's a beautiful old-school name ready to be dusted off.
66. Gussie. Hard as it may be to believe today, Gussie was once a perfectly reasonable baby name choice. Is this unisex name ever going to turn things around and become stylish again? We're doubtful.
67. Hettie. One person thinks Hettie is destined to bite the dust, while another sees it as a retro-cool moniker perfect for a modern girl.
68. Lessie. occasionally popping up on birth certificates in the first half of the 20th century, Lessie has since fallen into baby name oblivion.
69. Lutie. A very old -ie ender that harks back to the Gilded Age.

71. Nonie. Just like sister Nona, Nonie has yet to make comeback.
72. Pattie. Pattie seems terminally dated—for now.
73. Pearlie. A cutie pie shimmering with old-school charm.
74. Sudie. This one's been hiding in the attic for more than a century now—time to bring back baby Sudies?
75. Tressie. Occasionally used in the early 1900s, on no one's shortlist today.
76. Vickie. A less common variation of Vicky.
77. Virgie. A diminutive for Virginia, but ocassionally also used a given name in the first half of the twentieth century.
