I know a Persephone known as Effie.

Middle name Rose, but that doesn't help you as every time you'd say a middle name, you'd say the long full first name.

Still a flower name seems a good choice.

Technically short for Elizabeth, but she will just be Effie, as Elizabeth was a twat at school.

Never seen the Hunger Games so not sure. Thanks for non rude answers 😂

Surname is a bog standard common one so goes with anything really

Makes me think of Effie Trinket from the hunger games too. Don't dislike it though.

Wait a minute... Isn't the Hunger Games a book?? All of my other children have names from literature (entirely accidental!), so this is even more perfect!!

Yes it is a book and she isn't a horrible character just a bit eccentric.

It's just not a pleasant sound. It's a bad name. I'd be changing it had my parents called me that.

I've just realised what was on the tip of my tongue.

I really like Effie too, but I know my family would hate it lol. My OH would never go for it. So rude of people to comment their negative opinions when you didn't ask for them 🙈

What about Effie Jessica?

starandson · 27/11/2018 13:52

It sounds nice with Sophia. I like it with Elizabeth rather than as a nickname for Elizabeth - Effie Elizabeth?

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 27/11/2018 13:55

I just think trinket, sorry!

llangennith · 27/11/2018 13:58

Effie as a middle name instead?

starandson · 27/11/2018 14:07

Frances?

Buddyelf · 27/11/2018 14:15

I can't decide if I like it or not. I'm a Hunger Games fan so in my head the name is somewhat ruined, I hear the name Effie and I immediately hear Trinket so in that sense I don't think I could ever use it. But if you like it go for it, its not a bad name. I would have a longer middle name though like Victoria.

MysweetAudrina · 27/11/2018 14:17

I'm afraid my first thought was Offie.

juneau · 27/11/2018 14:21

Poor kid - Effie? I hope to god she isn't overweight or she's going to be called Effie-lump at school ...

StarfishSandwich · 27/11/2018 14:25

TheCbeebiesYellowBlobs · 27/11/2018 14:26

Shame you've already used Kate as Effie Katie would spell F E K T out loud.

Love the name, I got vetoed on using it 

Singlenotsingle · 27/11/2018 14:29

Lump? As in effalump?

golddustwomen · 27/11/2018 14:31

Op - were more of a fuck off kind of family too Grin

Ignore the rude pps, I love it, it's such a pretty name.

Effie Charlotte
Effie Sienna

Hopefully not overweight as me and the other DC are way smaller than average but you never know I suppose!

I really like Effie Elizabeth and we had it on the list for the baby we sadly lost but I just don't know if it would be weird. The Effie (well Effy) from Skins was an Elizabeth.

Can't really have anything beginning with V or B as surname begins with J. Oh and Effie Kate sounds like defecate Shock
