I had a great aunt Elfie, from her initials E.L.F.B

It sounds like a toddler trying to say 'Elephant' or something.

You're right to be scared. Grin

You have got to be kidding. Surely? And when the other kids say "that's a weird name" DD will say "no it's not, my DM named me after the Wicked Witch of the West"

Well, it is Wicked that inspired me.

Also like Aoife which is much safer!

My immediate thought was elephant. Sorry.

Elfie is very cute but Elphaba is seriously horrible. A burden of a name.

Sounds like a villain in a Disney film rather than a girl's name.

Truly awful unless a character in Wicked the musical.

Elfie not bad but Elphaba is just silly.
