Elphaba

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Anyone got one? I would love to call a future dd Elphaba nn Elfie but an scared and dh is boring

Haha @ cory.
I don't like Elphaba at all.

It's too linked with Wicked to be confortable to wear.

I have met a Belphoebe once, if that inspires you.

I'm sorry to say, I thought it included 'baba' - a little known Yorkshire word for poo.

Did Elphaba exist as a name before Wicked was published?

No. Much like Wendy from Peter Pan.

Dont worry - I wont inflict any future dds with the name.

Dds first and middle nanes are both from favourite childhood books so I feel like I should continue in that vein.

Oh I love it OP!

Lorna wasn't a real name until Lorna Doone either.

Elfrieda is much nicer and could be Elfie or Frieda or Ellie (worst case scenario). Aoife is lovely.

I has a conversation last week about Linnet from children of Green Knowe.

Love that name

If you like Elfie, it could be a nickname for quite a lot of Old English names like Aelfrith or Aelfgifu.
