Hi! We have exactly the same problem, we're both from yorkshire and it's not just names ending in ie/y that can be problematic! My friend called her son Joel but he gets 'Joe-well' style pronunciation all the time! It spoils the name!
Our shortlist also avoids ie/y endings and includes names like-
Jasmine
Lois
Alice
Max
I love -
Vinnie
Poppy
Sadie
but reluctant to use them because of the accent issue! Haha! Xxxx
