Hi !!!I agree with using it. Pixie is charming but not different to many feminine nicknames. It is not a problem as in the world there are a lot of Fay / Faye / Fae (similar sound and same fairy-like link).Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

Pixie and Fay have different connotations. Yes, they are both fairies, but the image is different.This is what first came up when I Googled Fay:


This is the first image to come up when I Googled pixie.

I would not actually use Fay as a name either, but it still comes across as a little more dignified or adult compared to Pixie.

Yes, "pixie" is definitely more cutesy and childlike and more likely to be tied to modern pop culture (like you said, Tinkerbell) and "fae" is more tied to folklore and ancient stories.
