Effemy nickname Effy

[novembernamechange]

Wdyt?

I think Effemy is a form of Euphemia. I like that too.
I've never heard of an Effemy and wondered how it would be received.

Like Effy, dislike Effemy. Euphemia is a nice name, providing you are at least mildly posh.

makes me think of Effi Briest = makes me

but it is a pretty name

We know an Effie, not short for anything - it's a lovely name, very pretty.

I love the name Effie but for me it will always remind me of my larger than life boss when I worked in Greece! Is also short for Eftihia which means joy and happiness

just hope FME doesn't become a popular internet acronym.

Not keeen. It looks made up.

Effemy is a beautiful name, but it does sound a bit like swearing.

Also prefer Euphemia, nn Effie - I also know one who's Effie not short for anything.

I thought it looks like swearing too, as in, "he was effing and jeffing" or "eff off you effing eff!"

I like Effie - she's the pretty girl from Skins.

Not sure about Effemy though. I prefer it as a shortening of Josephine etc.

Agree with LowLevel. Sounds very rude, which is a shame, but it really does sound like someone saying, ing this and that.

Can't get to like Effemy - does sound a bit like swearing!

I had a lovely great aunt Euphemia (or possibly great great aunt) so it's a nice name for me.

i like euphemia,too somehow sounds elegant
i like it shortened effie

effie makes me think square-chested glaswegian wimmin who swear and smoke like lums

so no from me

effy sounds like effing to me. not a nice association.

Sounds like F M E or sort of like effeminate. Effy too close to swearing, imo. Reminds me of the child in Silas Marner, Eppie?

Effy also sounds like it might be short for Ethel if your 'th' sounds like 'ph'.

Effemy sounds like effigy to me and that can't be a good thing.

better than Bunty !
Prefer Euphemia nn Effie than Effemy nn Effy

It's a bit too close to 'eff 'em for me, sorry!
