Subject: Re: Effie as a name??

My grandmother's name was Effie, too. (It's beginning to look
like everybody's was) I think the original questioner should
know by now: Effie is a name in itself, but may have come from
other names originally like Euphemia, or be shorthand for other
names. Actually Marion Barry, once and present mayor of
Washington DC, had a wife named Effi until after his fall from
grace. He's acquired a (third I think, if not fourth) wife
since.
