I don't know. But a connection to Harry Potter is at least associated with someone heroic. I'm stuck with the evil Chucky from the horror movies, although I might claim Charlie Brown, who at least is lovable. Todd gets a Simpson character named after him, and Bruce of course gets to have the Batman, Bruce Wayne, as his namesake.

Effie that causes writers to use it as a character name.

A long time ago there was a radio character called Effie Clinker. It was on before I was aware, but a neighbor always called me that as a nickname.

In the Hunger Games there is a character called Effie Trinket.

Tonight I was reading about Harry Potter's paternal grandparents. And here I go again.

While my name is not Euphemia, nor was I named because of any connection to Greek, Effie is the shortened form of that name.
