Evangeline
Elizabeth
Margot
Cassie

This is our final shortlist- we’d shorten Elizabeth to Effy (and Evangeline if we could get away with it- consensus on this?)

Evangeline or Elizabeth.
Not sure shortening to Effy though.

Not Effy. Sounds like effing. As in Eff Off! Poor child

Evangeline

Elizabeth is lovely but Effy is awful.
I don't like Cassie or Evangeline.
Margot is too popular.

Quite a mixed bag apart from the general consensus that nn Effy is awful- we still love it and I guess if dd didn’t like it she could go by a different nn and of course that would be okay as well.
Only ever heard Margot be pronounced Mar-go in Britain so pronounciation issue doesn’t really bother us
