Comments for the name Dixie

There are also Dixie Cups.

The Dixie Chicks are a country band that bears this name.

The great book "Winn Dixie".

Winn Dixie grocery stores.

Ditzy and trashy.

I think this would be a good name for a dog. I'm not as crazy about it as a human name, though. As a nickname, maybe, but not an actual given name.

I think this name is totally white trash.

It's not white trash! My good friend's name is Dixie and she's one of the classiest people I know! Very cute! You'll never get lost in a crowd with this name.

I think that Dixie is a wonderful name. It's not a common name as it was in the 30's, but that's what gives it that originality. My name wasn't that popular when my mother named me, either, but it has really bounced back.

I know someone called Dixie and it suits her now but in 10 years time? I think it will sound silly.

Dixie Kong was a playable character in Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3.

For some reason I like this. I've no idea why.

I think it's a nice way to represent your American southern heritage. Sure, I wouldn't personally use it, but I see nothing wrong with being proud of where you come from and using a classic Southern name.

I thought the name 'Dixie' derives from the Owen-Dixon line which divided the non-slavery northern states from the slave owning southern ones?

This is my name. For awhile, I didn't like it, but I think it makes me unusual. My father named me after the Dixie Gun Works catalog, strange, but true. So far, at 33, I've met 1 other person named Dixie.

Hmm... I certainly believe this is a good name for an animal, especially a dog. But as for a person? Well, to me, most names that end in a long "e" sound seem like nicknames, and Dixie is no exception. Maybe if you used it as a short form of something (although what that something would be, I have no idea). Or, possibly, one could use it as the kind of nickname that is unconnected to the person's real name. I don't know. It certainly sounds cute, anyway, and now I think I want to put it into one of my stories.

I HATE this name. It's so tacky and trashy. And it sounds like a name used by ignorant rednecks.

I think the name is cute, human or animal. I have a southern friend who is not what I would consider a redneck. I think that people should be more less judgemental. Anyway, I find the name to be very sweetypielike... A canadian friend opinion, thanks.
