naming after grandma Rie

In about 20 weeks, I hope to give birth to my first baby girl. My grandma is very ill, and it’s unclear if she’ll even be around to see it. I’d really like to name my daughter after her as a middle name.
Her name is Rie. Any cute ideas? I keep coming back to Marie or Valerie.

    Marie and Valerie are such beautiful names!
    Alternatively:
    Rieke
    Irina
    Risha
    Rosalie
    Annemarie

    I was also thinking of Rian. Or otherwise:

    Riëtte
    Rieneke
    Riekje
    Riëlle / Riëlla
    Riena
    Rienie

    Rianne
    Marianne
    Marie-José
    Frédérique

    I think Valerie is also really beautiful!
    Rien I find quite bold too, although you might think that's old-fashioned.
    Other options: Arianne, Rita, Rifka

    Avery
    Sarie

    Another thing to consider: maybe Rie is an abbreviation of an official name that you actually like?
