HelpRe: A Nickname Change, WDYT?
in reply to a message by Stevie
It works, and I think Effie is a very natural nn for Stephanie because the main accented syllable in "Stephanie" is "Eff". Steph / Stephie / Stevie makes sense, and Fannie makes a little sense but wouldn't be 'natural' unless the name was pronounced ste-FANN-ee. But Effie is just as natural as Steph IMO.
As long as you don't mind having 2 nicknames (your family will probably stick to Stevie, for a while anyway), go for it.

Thanks for the response. :]
My hope is that people will think that it is just Stephie shortened, and hence won't give me much trouble about it where it came from. Because out loud it sounds like Stephie minus the "st" sound.
Yeah, I'm probably going to commonly called by three names for a while. Stephanie or Stevie by my family, Stevie by my old friends, Stevie and/or Effie by my internet friends and Effie by my new ones. xD Though generally everyone should know that my full name is Stephanie so it shouldn't cause much confusion. (Especially when it comes to Facebook. Right now I'm just very grateful for the Alternate name option as they can easily find me by either name as long as they know my last name. xD)
And thanks, I think I'll make the switch. :]
