Great if she turns out to be a midgit with a slightly pointed nose, very delicate features, tiny feet, always having to buy children's clothes and she can always fit into Clark's velcro low heeled patent leather shoes with flowered indentations along the front.
Her favourite colour will be emerald green and she will love gardening and animals, the animals will see her as their friend.
She will believe in fairies all her life and speak in a very squeaky soft voice.

A joke name.

I don't think you could take a woman called Pixie seriously.

I feel quite relieved that Pixie McKenna isn't really a Pixie.

Somehow it's reassuring that names like that should be chosen by the owner rather than bestowed by parents who don't know what their child will be like all growed up.

I like it on her, btw.

Bob and Paulas daughter Pixie is even worse off than most are aware, her middle name is Pixie. Her first name is...

Little.

My Mums a big Paula fan and went looking for the kids birth records online, she was very frustrated that despite knowing all four daughters birthdays, she couldn't find Pixie, and eventually after a little digging she found

Little Pixie Geldof.

Scary.

logi · 18/08/2009 11:13

MrsBadger · 18/08/2009 11:06

ghastly

imagine trying to be taken seriously as a barrister

Lulubee · 18/08/2009 11:04

Oh 4andnotout, your DD3 so could be a Pixie.

Think it's adorable as a nn, not sure what short for though?

brimfull · 18/08/2009 11:03

I know a little girl called Dixie.

I like it

OrmIrian · 18/08/2009 11:03

DD3 is gorgeous 4and, but I would have to say imp not pixie

DD3 could be a Pixie, if only she wasn't so dirty

OrmIrian · 18/08/2009 11:01

Fnar! No.

What happens if she ends up 20 stone and built like a navvie?

Sorry

LetThemEatCake · 18/08/2009 11:00

I rather like it. But then, I would.

Wouldn't use it though. Nicer as a nn.

She doesnt look like a Pixie

It only works if you can guarentee your child will be small and dainty and cute forever.

Not if there's any chance they'll be tall or overweight or in anyway un-pixielike, which there almost always is....

so my answer is no.

4andnotout · 18/08/2009 10:40

hindsight not hindsuit!

4andnotout · 18/08/2009 10:40

I know an adult Pixie and it really suits her, with hindsuit i think it would have been the perfect name for dd3.

codinbatterindailymail · 18/08/2009 10:40

Quite so.

Dr Pixie Minx has a certain ring about it though, dontcha think?

princessmel · 18/08/2009 10:39
