HelpRe: Can you imagine these names on a grown woman?
in reply to a message by MsKyla
I really like Pixie but I'm not sure I could imagine it in real life. I completely get where your friend's fears are coming from and there are two ways to look at this.
Yes - it's too childish to be worn by an adult. They're be ridiculed, it'll affect them getting a job, becoming a professional etc etc.
No - there was a time when Millie (and any "nickname" ending in 'ee') was considered too childish and 'cutesy', but from an adult living as Millie, I can tell you it hasn't adversely affected me. Plus singer Pixie Lott (although born Victoria Louise), makes the name wearable for an adult. Pixie will grow up owning her name, she'll make it her own and no one will be able to see her as anything different. She'll make it work as a 3yo, 16yo and 45yo because you grow with your name.
