Effie or Dallis

[gembickerdike]

I am 25 weeks pregnant and cannot decide between the two names as I love them equally. Help, which one do u prefer Effie or Dallis?

Effie is my vote. But they're both nice!

I actually really like Dallis. Now that google has told me it's a legit Scottish name . Reminds me of Dulcie which I also love.

Effie is lovely too.

Have you thought of Ellis - it sort of combines them both (but does get confused with Alice sometimes)

I really like Effie

Dallis is quite pretty. I've never heard it before. I think maybe too much like Dallas though.

Dallis I thinks sounds awful....

Effie is nice

Dallis is too like Dallas. People will constantly mis-hear and mis-spell it.

I would go with Effie.

Effie.

Dallis will be thought of, and spelt, as Dallas.

I would think Dallis was Dallas if introduced to me.

Dallis is lovely, I know a Dalis - very unusual. Effie sounds too cutesy and short for something (pretty enough but Dallis is better).

I did think her name was Dallas at first though (but still, I quite like Dallas!! :))

Effie

Effie lovely

Dallas is lovely but may get confused with Dallas. Do you like Dilys?

As long as the kids actual name is Euphemia then Effie is fine

Thanks. Have considered that name before. Will think on that name more now. . Good idea x

Effie is lovely.
Dallis - I'd also assume you meant Dallas but had mispelled it, sorry. (Entirely my ignorance)

Effie is also short for Elizabeth. My niece is Elizabeth nn Effie and I love it.

I always wanted an Ophelia nn Effie.. it's a beautiful beautiful name

I'm with Laurie. Euphemia, known as Effie. Or Pheemie.

Effie is NN for Euphemia.

As well as Pheemie (pronounced "Fay-mee") and of course Fay/Faye

Effie reminds me of the hunger games, is that where it came from? I think it's cute. Don't like euphemia sounds too much like emphysema.

I know a little girl called Effia. Effie is lovely.

I like Effie - it was a random nn for me at uni (from effervescent...! No comment!).

I agree with PPs that it might be good to be a shortened form of something else.

Effie can be short for Euphemia, Ophelia, Elizabeth and Efstrathia.

I think Effie could also be short for a name beginning with F - I'm thinking Fenella nn Nell or Effie if we have a girl.

Effie.
