Re: Can you imagine these names on a grown woman?

They both sound not only childish, but also pet-like. I can picture a cocker spaniel named Pixie or Nixie, but not even a human child.
She ought to try Dixie if she's that set on the xie sound, but it's quite self-consciously southern and countrified.
There's also Trixie, but that also sounds like a pet. Plus, Trixie, Pixie and Nixie sounds like nicknames for some streetwalker.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
