Effie

[abbie7]

Opinions on the name Effie (girl)?

I like it :)

Bit a la mode for me, like Katniss etc. Aoife is a more traditional name, quite similar sounding.

Not keen, sorry.

Sounds too near to "No effin' way" kind of thing.

Love it!

I'm not a fan for the exact reason that GirlandBoy said. Plus it sounds unfinished to me. Very much like a nickname and not a 'real' name.

I like it. Reminds me of Effie Briest.

I like it

Actually it's Effi Briest

I would assume nn for Eiffel Tower!

There's a teenage Effie on my road.
Quite like it- does it derive from Euphemia?
I think the name might prompt a bit of mild mannered teasing but she can roll her eyes and tell them to Effie Off.

It's short for Euphemia.
I used to work with someone called Effie. She was v nice so I like it

I’m not keen. It sounds like ‘effin’ and also just sounds a bit daft (imo)

I like it. But Euphemia is one of my gp names, so there's that :)

It’s my daughters name :) (nn for Evelyn) only ever had positive reactions!

Love it. And Essie

I think it's nice as a nickname

As a shortening of Euphemia, Iphigenia or Evelyn it's fine but I don't consider it a name in and of itself. But names change and develop all the time so it could be!

It's a bit swearing sounding to be a name of its own.

It's short for Euphemia.

Rebecca it can be short for a number of names.

For example, Persephone.

I know two Effies and bizarrely they look really similar. They are about 7.

Love it. We have a cat named effy, kinda gutted as now I can't use it for any future daughters lol

Ephdehia is also shortened to Ephie/Effie

It's a great name.

If its short for Euphemia. I do love that name. Reminds me of Euphemia Gray the Pre-Raphaelite muse.
On its own it does seem a bit sweary....

Like it. Very sweet.
