Brother for Effie?

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.

Ignore the idiots providing unwarranted and unasked for opinions on your daughter's name, which is lovely and very cool. Just because it's a public forum and "you're going to get opinions" shouldn't give people the excuse to be rude. But sadly plenty of keyboard warriors hide on Mumsnet 🙄
I would try go for names that don't end in an ie sound for your son, some suggestions below:
Effie and Ralph
Effie and Rex
Effie and Kit
Effie and Luca
Effie and Jude
Effie and Seb
Effie and Max

Congratulations 🩵

P.S. I absolutely love Effie. It shot straight to the top of my list when I first discovered it (watching Skins as a teenager of course!).

Update - we ended up using the name Milo that a few of you suggested! ☺️

Oh, thanks for letting us know! It's really refreshing because most people just ghost users after they found the name.
Congrats on baby!

Congrats and welcome to the world baby Milo 💙

Congratulations 😊

Effie and Milo are lovely names and go really well together IMO (incidentally we have one of each in the family - one nephew and one little cousin - and yes Effie is just Effie, not short for anything!). Clearly you and my family have great taste 😆

Milo is a lovely name! Thanks so much for letting us know!
