How many Effy/Effies do you know of?

Rude @percheron67

cbeebies. Possibly. We were, however, asked a question and I gave my reply. I am involved in writing children's books and, to my mind, Effie begs for the second name of Elephant. If anyone thinks differently, that is entirely up to them.

None, and I come across hundreds of pre-schoolers each year

Only Effy from skins - I'm sure in one scene her mum calls her Elizabeth, so I guess that's what it's short for!

One. She's 6 and it's short for Euphemia.

I was at school with two- so in their mid-30s.
Short for Seraphina and Eleanor

None.
Know an Essie.

None but I like it

1 - she's 8

A few, but I am Greek.

Euphemia doesn’t mean we’ll spoken, it means good hearted, in good spirits.

@percheron67 the elephant connection hasn’t stopped people using Ellie and Nelly. Besides, I just felt the ‘thank heavens’ bit a rude reaction. Whatever though, as you said, your opinion, you are entitled to it.

Effin' loads of 'em.

cbeebies. Fair comment. I appreciate your input.

Quite a few but I’m Greek.

Faye is beautiful.

Effie is awful imo

One (she is about 30) short for Flavia 🤷🏻‍♀️

One and she’s 18months. It’s just “Effie”.

IME it’s a really Scottish old lady name. I swear there was one in “Take The High Road”

Usually to be found with Senga, Maggie and Morag.

My Gran was called Evelyn - Grandad called her Effie . She was the proverbial apple cheeked kind of grandparent.

I haven't met any and only know of one- Effie (Euphemia) Gray, who married John Ruskin and then the Pre-Raphaelite Millais - I think it's pretty :) Always had it on my own list but couldn't think of what else it might be short for (I really don't like Euphemia) - Evelyn is perfect!

One, my aunt and her name is short for Euphemia, she is in her early 80s.

I think Effie is a cute name and nice to see it make a comeback, Euphemia is awful though.

I knew a Greek Ephilia who went by Effie.

One about 3 years old

None but it does sound a bit like Effing.

I think there was a drippy girl in Anne of Green Gables (the TV series at least) that kept fainting, called Effie.

One mid 20s but she's french.
