I can just imagine the teasing he is going to get in the school playground!

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 01/02/2011 20:54

Oh no...no no no no no Sad

I am assuming it wasn't a typo.

Never even though about teasing Blush - just thought it looked odd to the eye.

I don't actually know the parents btw, just caught my eye on someone's FB wall.

Hmm indeed!

Mainly because I immediately think 'Dixie' which is definitely girlie.

GetOrfMoiLand · 01/02/2011 21:00

What the bloody hell are they thinking.

Their baby should be confiscated.

Dick's in? I'm surprised the father was ok with this tbh. Hardly flattering.

jaggythistle · 01/02/2011 21:02

Will try to get it into conversation with person I do know and if I find out what they were in fact thinking, I will report back. Grin

Sounds like some sort of medicine or ointment. Did they mean Dixon with an 'o'? Still awful but at least it's a name ( sort of)

JamieLeeCurtis · 02/02/2011 13:40

yes. sounds like a mis-spelling of a not-very-nice-in-the-first-place name

SilkStalkings · 02/02/2011 16:18

Well that's going to attract an awful lot of rude jokes come pubescenceSad.

littleomar · 02/02/2011 16:19

makes me think dioxin

is it a joke?

Aims80 · 02/02/2011 16:48

oh dear..

weimy · 02/02/2011 17:19

is it a weird variation of Dixon?

AllieW · 02/02/2011 17:25

I was wondering if they'd seen Diccon/Dicken and decided to bowdlerise it.

tebbles · 02/02/2011 17:36

90210?

boohoohoo · 02/02/2011 17:38

Love Dix in!!! Smile But makes me think of one of Santas Reindeers!!!!!

hellymelly · 02/02/2011 17:39
