Weird coincidence: I saw a YouTube video yesterday of a girl's Sims 4 playthrough & she had her character & Santa have a baby so that she could have a character with Santa's "father winter's child" special trait. She named their daughter Elfie & I thought it was cute.

All I think of are Christmas elves. I don’t like it at all.

It would be a good nickname for Elfgifu.

Where I live, it sounds like someone with a really unattractive accent trying to say Alfie. So if I heard it, I would probably say Alfie rather than Elfie, thus creating a social disaster! I really don't like it - elves are so ephemeral - and I don't even like Alfie either.

I personally don't care for Effie, and Elfie managed to be worse. It sounds like something a young child might call an elf. Much like Birdy for bird, doggy for dog and so on.

I know a man in his 30s called Elphie! I’m not sure if it is short for anything though.

It was unique to hear, but now I guess I consider it masculine…maybe even more so spelled #Elfie because it is similar to #Alfie

I knew a dog named Elfie

I think it could be a cute nickname, for the right person. A full name? Not a chance.

I actually really like Elfie.

I would think it too cutesy for a full first name, but as a good nn for any 'El-' names, like Elfrida, and other's of that kind.

Looks like a typo of Elsie. And feels rather childish and inconsistent.

Too… well… elfy

Elvira would be better although I don’t like that one either

I think it's adorable, but I'd only use it as a nickname for Elfriede / Elfrida or Elfleda.

It's very babyish and cutesy, like something you'd call your Elf On the Shelf toy.

It’s a really cute nickname, I prefer it as a nickname for Elfreda or Elvina or Elvira though.
