What think you of the name Effie (or spelt Effy?)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'm really sorry but it makes me think "F off" or "effing" as in you know what.

I know a Evelyn who goes by Effie

I think it is really pretty, but there is one at our school and my ds2 told me some of the older ones call her "eff off Effie"

But I think if children are going to be beastly they will find something. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use whatever name you like.

I'd wonder what it was short for. It's pretty though - makes me think of a fey, pixie-like child.

Really like it, is it short for anything?

Sounds like iffy to me, I wouldn't. But the ie spelling is better of the two.

my dds name with an ie, still often wonder if I should have gone with y though!

I like it but only if you spell it Effie!
