What could Effie be short for?

I'm only 13+4 and we aren't going to find out what we're having, but for a girl, I love the name Effie. I prefer names that can be shortened and think Effie is more of a nn than a full name. The trouble is, all the names I have found that could be shortened to Effie are vile!

Any suggestions?!

Other girls' names I like are Penelope (shortened to Penny or Polly) and Camilla (Millie).

I though Effie was short for Elizabeth? I don't think that's vile, very pretty and traditional
