I know of a Dixie around 2yrs old (female)

Love the name.

Don't know anyone with the other names.

I know one person whose nn is Dixie.

I don't know either of the others in RL.

I quite like Bellatrix, but despite being a star in the constellation Orion, it's totally dominated by the HP baddie association.

I know a 22yo Dixie

A guardian journalist (Phil Hogan? something like that) has a teenage Baxter

No - because to me they say

  1. Soup
  2. US Deep South and the confederacy
  3. HP and Asterix

I might consider them for pets.

My gran had several friends called Hilda and Ethel. They'd be in their late 90s now I suppose, assuming they are still alive.

My Barbie horse's foal was called Dixie, if that's any help. It was a foal in the mid 1980s, so about 25 years old now, although I'm not sure if plastic horses actually age in the same way as real ones do!!

Can't help you with Baxter and Bellatrix, closest I know are Max and Beatrix.

I know a Dixie - in her twenties.

Don't know any Baxter, but it would work for a boy.

Bellatrix - this a joke surely?

I know a 3 yo Baxter.

I don't know any Dixies.

You'd be insane to consider Bellatrix, sorry!

rockinhippy · 31/12/2010 10:22

also a female Baxter,

I've only ever known/heard of that one for Girls, though surprised, as I've always thought it a bit Masculine myself Confused

I do know a little Hilda, aged 5, and I think it's lovely, but the others not nice imo.

The only Baxter I know is a spaniel
Dixie is a baby girl at the nursery my dd went to. And
surely there are no real people called Bellatrix outside the world of Harry Potter? Shock

onimolap What was Dixie a nickname for?

Kara What sex is the 3 year old Baxter? I always thought it was a boy's name, but it seems to be unisex.
