Thoughts on Dixie

[LurkerNoLonger]

Hi ladies. I've lurked for ages but now I'm finally pregnant have decided to join!

I've a while to go, but dreamt around 5 months ago (before I was even pregnant) of the name Dixie for a girl and havent been able to shake it since.

My partner likes it too but I'm not sure if it's just the fact I dreamed of it taking over for me. Also toying with Daisy.

Honest thoughts please? Surname is Dark if that helps!!

Prefer Daisy Dark to Dixie Dark.

Cant say I like Dixie and especially not with the surname Dark. Sorry not helpful.

Daisy is lovely Dixie isn't, sorry

I wouldn't because of the Dicks sound. Dotty short for Charlotte?

No worries at all, the more honest the better

I just love the D names at the moment to roll with Dark - which is a lot easier for girls than boys!

Sorry didn't see Daisy was an option. I like that.

I'd be awfully worried about mean kids shortening it to Dick.

Pixie Dark?

I like Pixie but not Dixie. I also like Daisy Dark.

I know a little Dixie and she really suits her name! I wasn't sure when her name was announced but it has really grown on me, go for it if you love it

I like Dixie! And I like the DD name. I have an SS.

What about Delilah? Delilah Dark sounds cool. Or Dahlia (pronounced Day-lee-uh.

I'd go with Daisy Dark.

I'd be worried about the dick sound in Dixie too, and Dotty is a nasty thing to do to a child.

It makes me think 'Dixie Normous', sorry OP!

I like Dixie but not sure it works with Dark

Prefer Pixie.Dotty isn't short for Charlotte surely?

People of a certain age will thinkmof Daisy Duke, if that bothers you. It was the first thing that I thought of. Dixie just sounds a bit...non-name.

I think it's very cute but not sure that it sounds like a real name!

Darcy?

I think a 4 syllable name sounds very elegant with Dark. Eg,
Elizabeth Dark
Hermione Dark
Arabella Dark
Amelia Dark

Daisy dark is too near Daisy Duck for me.

Dixie has beer, shit country band and American Civil War connotations.

I wouldn't use it. Love Daisy though.

Love the name Dixie but Dixie Dark sounds like a marvel superhero to me. Sorry.

I instantly thought Dick See Dark.. which just seemed weird. Daisy is nice x

What about Beatrix and shorten it to Trixie?
Daisy Dark makes me think of Daisy Duck, Donald's girlfriend.
Also might inspire the nickname 'double D' and with Dixie as the first name I just think it's a double whammy of potential innuendos.

Oh god no the alliteration is horrendous

Thank you all for your responses! I think you're all right. I do love the name but I don't want to saddle a child with a name that'll be cause for teasing as they grow up.

Dark is a difficult surname to match a D name with ... Donnie Dark is like the movie and Donald Dark is like the cartoon!

I also like Penny, Piper and Effie but a new name seems to pop in to my head every 5 minutes at the moment!

Thanks again everybody
