Elphie

Though its fictional bearer, Elphaba, might have thought it "too perky" at first, your Elphie is bound to be a big fan of their moniker. A feminine title and nickname, Elphie is a "Galindafied" choice for the Wicked fans of the world, as it's given to Elphaba by Galinda once she sets her sights on making Elphaba "Popular." What initially seems to be a silly nickname, becomes a lovely detail of the friendship between the two characters, as we hear Galinda call Elphaba by it many times throughout the novels, musical, and films.

Author Gregory Maguire is credited with creating the name Elphaba for his Wicked novels. He formed it from L-F-B, the initials of L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the literary work that inspired Wicked. While Elphie is most often considered a shortened form of Elphaba, it can also be a nickname for any moniker that begins with the -Elph or -Elf sound. One example is Elfreda, a Middle English name that means "elf strength." With a name like this, your tiny tot will know that everyone has an incredible and unique source of power within them.
