Girl's names to go with Effie

54 replies

KylaKins · 21/10/2021 19:27

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a name to go with Effie, which is the name of my 3 year old daughter.
I would like something vintage and cutesy and quite unusual.
Nothing has stood out to me yet. We are thinking Vivienne and Vivi for short, but something about it doesn't feel quite right.
Thanks all

Right or wrong, my 1st thought is that Effie is a Greek name. Are you looking for another Greek name, or there is no Greek connection, and you just liked Effie?

Cleo
Chloe
Thea
Gia
Ada
Elena/Eleni

Or Victoria if you liked Vivian.

Anna or Annie

@Itistimeforquiche

Margot is the best suggestion so far.

Anything that also ends fie would be a bit naff unfortunately I think.

Margot is a different style though.

Think you need something more unusual than Margot to pair with Effie

Suki
Clio
Polly
Juno
Della
