Nickname only.

You could probably get away with using it for Patrice too.

It's very much a pet name to me though. As in, animals. I hear it a lot on dogs around here.

I never knew anybody called this; I don't expect to, unless it's a dog or a horse or something.
I think Trixie is more a joke name then anything else, or something a hooker or a stripper would call herself ... around 1960, maybe. It's just too dumb to be believed.

Standing up for Trixie. Absolutely LOVE it! :)

I absolutely love Trixie, probably because I adore vintage nicknames (as full names) and I associate Trixie with a character I really love (actually Beatrix but almost exclusively Trixie). I think because of that, I feel like Trixie is a feisty, energetic name, that could work on a woman of any age, and isn't overly juvenile or, as most seem to consider it to be, a 'stripper' and/or pet name. I have it on my list as a full name, because I think it can work, and it's actually quite popular where I live (England). But, although I'm not the biggest fan of nicknames, I do like the idea of Beatrix nn Trixie too. Basically I love Trixie, even though, sadly, it seems to bring up a lot of negative connotations and dislike from quite a lot of people.

As a nickname for Beatrix it is gorgeous.

I think it's a cute nickname for Beatrix. It could work for Beatrice, but I much prefer Beatrix.

I don't think it's worse than Mitzi. I kind of like it, actually. Yes, I think it should be a NN for Beatrix or Beatrice.

I hate Beatrix and Beatrice a lot, so that puts me on the wrong side of Trixie.

It sounds like Tricksy! Oh you're so tricksy, Trixie! You fox you.

Bah.

I dunno, I can imagine it being cool for someone. Sort of a punkish name. Not a professional's name. A professional would be Bea at work, and Trixie when she played in the band on the weekends or headed out with her motorcycle club. lol

I think it's way to childish as a full name, but as a nickname for Beatrice / Beatrix it's fabulous. I have a feel soft spot for old fashioned nicknames.

I think Trixie is really cute and don't find it silly at all. I definitely think Trixie can be a full name, but it's also nice as a nn for Beatrix.

I think Trixie is really cute whether on its own or as a nn.

My Beatrice daughter was sometimes known as Triskie in her extreme youth, but never Trixie. She found it frivolous. When I was a child and my Beatrice mother was known as Bea (mostly, but sometimes, reluctantly, Beattie), the people across the road got a very nice wire-haired terrier puppy that they named Trixie, so it's always been mostly canine to me - I think my mother was a little startled at her semi-namesake, but she never said!

I think the meaning is too blatant. I'd be really sorry for a plump, boring couch-potato Trixie - also a gloomy or aggressive Joy, and I've known both. Too much to live up to, too much of a risk.

Actually I really like this name for a dog. I think it should be on a nickname only basis for a human.

I'm not really sure about this name. I definitely think that it doesn't work as a full name. I think it should stick to being a nickname :)
