It makes sense as a childhood nickname because th's are hard to pronounce at a young age and usually come out as F's. "Elizabeff"-->Effy. That's my understanding of it. I like it a lot.

Oh!
I get it! I'm excited to ask DH if he likes Effie as a nn for Elizabeth. He'll probably say no. Not that he could stop me from using it if I had a daughter already named Elizabeth. :P

Yep, if Buffy can come from Elizabeth, I don't see a problem with Effie!
I'm not personally a fan of Effie as a nickname but I could definitely see it working (sounds kind of similar to Bethy as well...)
