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!!

Dotty is definitely short for Dorothy.

And it's awful.

I know a Charlotte who is known as Dot. It suits her. No one we know thinks it's awful or is horrified that she has a nn that should be for Dorothy.

I like Dotty Dark. And Dorothy, Dahlia and Dora Dark.

Daphne Dark is sweet.

Dixie makes me think of music.

Aren't dixies also those prefab toilet blocks for construction sites etc.?

I actually rather like Dixie and think it's v memorable with Dark. Have been considering Delta myself if you're still keen on D names.

Dora Dark
Della Dark
Deryn Dark
Delilah Dark
Dorothy Dark
Diana Dark
Davina Dark
Dulcie Dark

Annie Dark
Billie Dark
Betty Dark
Nancy Dark
Gracie Dark
Hattie Dark
Hettie Dark
Janie Dark
Nellie Dark
Kitty Dark
Penny Dark
Sadie Dark
Willa Dark

I think Damaris is a nice 'D' name?

I prefer Trixie to Dixie.

How about Dezure Dark?

Well, given my username I have to say go for it!!

I work with a Duchie. I don't know if that's short for anything. It goes better with Dark than Dixie

Prefer Daisy to Dixie

Dashiell (Dash) Dark for a boy?

Sorry OP. I think ALL of the alliterative options sound porny.

Isn't Dixie a teletubby?

Dulcie is nice too.

Dixie is cute - even for any age - my mum's 'stage' name is dixie - i think it was her nickname as a child.

Even shortening to Dix is fine.

I like Dominic Dark. Though maybe Dix and Dom is a bit much.

That's Dipsy, IrlimI!!

I love Dixie and I think it goes better with Dark but that could be because Daisy Dark kind of reminds me of Daisy Duck...although that's probably just me

Oh no just seen @talulahbeige made he same connection :)

Some of the suggestions are worse than Dixie.

Btw, I agree with pp's.

Dixie reminds me of the Dixie Chicks and their comments about Bush/the Iraq war, the civil war and a few other songs...

(and now I'm stuck singing "I wish I was in Dixie" in my head... I think we may have learned weird stuff in High School...)

Penny Dark sounds great. I'd go with Penelope (nn Penny)

I think Dark is a fab surname!

Agree completely with JoanRamone I also think Dixie Dark sounds like a pornstar, sorry. Beatrix Dark is great though.

@Dixiestamp haha oh yes so it is, opps!

Della Dark
Dulcie Dark
Dahlia Dark

I do like alliteration but find they sound a bit cartoonish? (No offence meant at all there, my surname is much worse )

Conversely, the Beatrix I know goes by "bix" or "bixie" ... you'd still get the sound if you went for this and weren't so keen on Trixie?

Congrats on your pregnancy
