how would you pronounce that? sorry im slow lol

[kissme-likethat.livejournal.com]

thanks guys!

Evelyn would be my guess.

It's generally pronounced Eff-ah-guh-NY-uh, I think. Well, the people I know called that who go by Effie pronounce it that way, but they are Australian Greeks and maybe it's different elsewhere.

I know someone who goes by Evie for Evelyn.

For some reason I thought of Esmeralda first. E

I was just going to comment and say, "My friend's sister's name is Efrat and that could probably be shortened to Effie." Hahaha. But you beat me to it.

It's short for Elisabeth.
It's on my name list.
