I'm afraid I'm not too keen...something about it doesn't sound quite right, sorry!

Peachbubble · 28/06/2018 14:28

It looks like you've misspelt Evie or Elvis to me

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 14:32

Too close to Evie to not be a PITA.
Elfie is better but would be a pain at Christmas.

17caterpillars1mouse · 28/06/2018 14:36

It's cute as a nn but not as a full name as its too cutsie

Not sure what it could be a shortening of. .. Elvina maybe?

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 15:14

Elvira?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/06/2018 15:19

Oh like it. Who cares if it's made up. Every name was made up at some point

Verbena87 · 28/06/2018 15:21

I like it BUT it’s the name of a pelvic toner biofeedback device (worn in your vagina to measure how strong your kegels are), so I wouldn’t!!

bellinisurge · 28/06/2018 15:23

I knew a wonderful beautiful Elvie. Short for Elvira.

Thundersky · 28/06/2018 22:07

Too much like Elver to me. Which is a baby eel

Wolfiefan · 28/06/2018 22:09

Yep. Sounds like an Elvis or Evie gone wrong.

ApolloniaC · 28/06/2018 22:12

Elvira is beautiful. Think Michelle Pffeifer in Scarface!

bionicnemonic · 28/06/2018 22:16

...it’s the name of a pelvic floor exercise device...

I know a couple of Elvies and Elvas, but they are reasonably well used in Scandi countries.

Elvie where I live would be constantly confused for Evie.

Elvira is not beautiful... I have a diamond python named that. It's only appropriate for snakes. Grin

L'Oreal. Sorry.

PippilottaLongstocking · 29/06/2018 14:05

It’s nice but sounds like you mixed up Evie and Elfie so you might get people accidentally calling her either of those but if that doesn’t bother you then go for it! I know an Elfie (Elfrida) and I think it’s lovely and Elvie is not much different

ScrambledSmegs · 29/06/2018 14:08

If I say it out loud it sounds like LV, the insurance company.

Elfie or Effie are similar.

RavenWings · 29/06/2018 14:28

Elvie as a nickname for Elvira is fine, Elvie by itself is not. I love Elvira, beautiful name.

Enidblyton1 · 29/06/2018 14:33

Elvira is one of my favourite names - Elvie could be a great nickname for that. Fine in its own right too, but I definitely prefer it as a nickname.

dingdongdigeridoo · 29/06/2018 22:17

It’s cute but a bit awkward. It sort of looks like a misspelling. Also, makes me think of elves from lord of the rings or some fantasy series!

dingdongdigeridoo · 29/06/2018 22:19

Elvira reminds me of the mistress of the dark. But I guess that’s a pretty obscure film.

WineGummyBear · 29/06/2018 22:20

Pelvic toner to me I'm afraid.

BellaJessica · 29/06/2018 22:20

LV the rabbit on Hop comes to mind

BellaJessica · 29/06/2018 22:21

Wait no i think hos name was EB actually. Sounded similar in my head.

butlerswharf · 29/06/2018 22:29

I think of only Elvis. I love Evie though.
