Ophelia nn Effie or just Effie? I normally prefer a full version on a birth certificate but likewise if we use Effie 90% of the time is there much point having Ophelia on the birth certificate?

PS I know Ophelia is a love hate name on here (and I’ve been prewarned about the ‘a feel of your bum’ etc) but i love it.

So...

Ophelia Florence S
Or
Effie Florence S

Ophelia Florence nn Effie. Gives her more options.

Ophelia for sure. Lovely name!

Ophelia Florence sounds better than Effie Florence.
But as a mum of an Effie I obviously love the name!

Ophelia Florence is my preferred option.

This is predictable from me on here I know, but Ophelia on the birth certificate for sure. Effie, while very sweet, is quite cutesy and she might prefer a more 'grown up' name when she's well, grown up.

Ophelia Florence sounds better than Effie Florence too.

I think if you're going to go with Ophelia then that should be her name. Nicknames come organically...you can't decide them prior.

If you like Effie better than Ophelia then call her that.

Pretend the law has spoken and dictated that you may only call your child Ophelia and not Effie....how do you feel? Pleased? Disappointed?
