Brother for Effie?

[GlowyJoey]

Just found out we are having a baby boy in September! 💙

Any name ideas to go with Effie would be really appreciated. We want something that sounds nice with Effie but also a similar popularity/a name you don’t come across all the time but also isn’t too out there.

Effie and Laurence ❤️

Agree that Stan is a good option.

Sid/Sidney
Hal/Harold

I know a little twin Effie, her brother is called Jude! Congrats on your little boy.

I’m presuming it’s short for something?

I know someone from another country whose parents used to call her Effie but it’s a nn/shortening, which she stopped using at school due to some unkind comments.

Nope, already clarified that in a previous comment. I would also like to say again I am asking for advice on a boys name and not opinions on the name I have already given my daughter.

If you put it on a forum, you’re going to get comments.

But okay, I vote Jeffy as a pp suggested.

I’ve put it on a forum asking for specific advice, so yes I expect answers in relation to that advice.

But thanks for your unhelpful and immature contribution, it’s much appreciated! ☺️☺️

Is your daughters name short for something so she can use that when she gets to secondary school? Effie may not be appreciated at that age.

How about Finley or Sebastian, Fin and Seb are nice. It’s hard to say what would go nicely without knowing what Effie is short for.

Sorry, just seen it’s not short for anything. Maybe other nickname sort of names then like Archie???

Jeez some of the comments on here 🙄. Even if you hate the name, she's already called by it, so completely unhelpful to comment.

I like Jude or Stan.

Also Albie, Archie, Guy, Leo? Something short I think

Realise you aren’t asking for comments on your daughter’s name but just wanted to say that Effie is a gorgeous name, loved it ever since Skins came out years ago! No idea why people aren’t being rude about it, there are far more ‘out there’ names than Effie. ANYWAY I think Jude was a great suggestion for a brother’s name, also love -

@GlowyJoey I absolutely love the name Effie, some people are just very rude, ignore them!

Congratulations! X

I have an Effie. Never has she been made fun of but that's probably because kids are nicer than a lot of Mumsnet posters who think they are superior whilst posting anonymously making fun of a child's name🙄🙄🥱
Anyywayy her brother's name has been mentioned frequently on this post too so glad to know their names match (no...it's not Jeffy hilarious)

Offie

where I come from it’s a proper traditional Scottish name of the pre-war generation, so I’d say something like Robert, Hector or Roderick would be congruent. If you hate them, I can see they’re not for everyone, what about Magnus?
