About the name
Goldie began as a Yiddish nickname — Golde, from the word for gold — and travelled into English as an affectionate name in its own right rather than a shortening of anything. Golda Meir used the fuller form.
It ranked in the US top 1000 in the early twentieth century, disappeared by the 1950s, and is now carried in the popular imagination almost entirely by Goldie Hawn. It sits outside the top 1000.
It is already a diminutive and does not shorten further. Two syllables want two or three (Goldie Josephine, Goldie Wren). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with a Whimsical warmth.
