Girl's names to go with Effie

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a name to go with Effie, which is the name of my 3 year old daughter.
I would like something vintage and cutesy and quite unusual.
Nothing has stood out to me yet. We are thinking Vivienne and Vivi for short, but something about it doesn't feel quite right.
Thanks all

Right or wrong, my 1st thought is that Effie is a Greek name. Are you looking for another Greek name, or there is no Greek connection, and you just liked Effie?

Cleo
Chloe
Thea
Gia
Ada
Elena/Eleni

My daughter is Effie and we were going to call her brother Mabel had been a girl. I think you should keep it quite vintage. Good luck-ignore any negativity on here, Effie is a great nameWink

@CbeebiesrehabHi there,
Thanks for your reply. It's rare to meet another Effie Mom. I adore the name too. Unfortunately, not everyone gets it, but I guess that why it remains unique.
Out of curiosity, what did you call your boy?
We have George picked for a boy (we live in Ireland where it is still a rare name).
I loved Kit but it wouldn't match our surname.

I know an Effie who has a little sister called Verity and I think they go together well
