Ugh. The plain, almost crude, nickname
Effie ruins the more sophisticated
Josephine.
Josephine has far nicer diminutives to choose from that don’t detract from its charm.
Effie completely lacks charm.
Even Sephie (which is more intuitive, at least to me) would be better than
Effie.
Josephine Corinne Amy is ok.
Other suggestions off the top of my head with mostly vintage vibes:
