Just Effie from skins.

I love the name and wanted something that could be shortened to it for dd2. Didn’t like the traditional longer versions so went with Evelyn in the end. Thought Effie wasn’t close enough so we call her or Ev for short. From reading this thread I’m pleased to see it could be used although we’re kind of used to Evvy now.

It does sound like something the 🐱 coughed up.
Or a swear word used by a child 'effy pencil!' Etc
