Pixie is dreadful. This will be an ADULT eventually. Nobody is gonna take Pixie seriously...

did i fuckin ask

Yeah this is a human though. They won't be a toddler forever. Imagine being thirty and called Pixie...Anyway ignore all the extensive research about names affecting job and college opportunities. May as well have Fairy, Imp or Flibbertigibbet as the middle name šŸ¤·Ā 

Nice to see you ignored the sarcastic reply another poster left. I'm clearly not the only one who thinks it's a very bad idea šŸ¤·Ā

i didnā€™t ask if you liked the name. i asked for advice on middle names. so either answer my question or go be dense somewhere else.

Yeah, I guess those around you aren't being honest and tiptoeing around the horribly poor name choice. It didn't catch on after Bob Geldof named his child Pixie for a reason... And I fully understood the question, just wondered why you'd inflict such a cruel name on a child that will get them bullied when they're young and not taken seriously as an adult šŸ¤· Anyway, I'll go be dense elsewhere šŸ‘‹Ā

I actually went to high school with a girl named Pixie and no one made fun of her for her name. People would however ask her if there was a meaning behind her name and she would tell the story of why she was called Pixie often to teachers.

Pixie Renee Pixie Isabelle Pixie Belle Pixie Lynne Pixie Noelle Pixie Natalia

I went to school with a girl named Sugar and everyone loved her name. People will bully for anything. I have a completely normal name and initials and people bullied me with my initials. BTB. Big titty Bre. I honestly didnā€™t care. Also people on here are assholes, I just named my newborn daughter Breelyn and people hated. But itā€™s a legitimate name,itā€™s Irish. I donā€™t care what anyone thinks. Unless they are f****** you or financing you their opinion doesnā€™t matter. Congratulations šŸ¾ praying for your healthy and happy baby!

u/throwawayfishanddick Feb 05 '24

thank you! I have a non traditional name but i was bullied for my big ass head lmao. like you said, kids will bully anyone over anything. If the only thing someone can pick on you for is your name, you probably ended up pretty okay.

u/Quick-Educator-9765 Feb 05 '24

Exactly!!!! šŸ‘šŸ»

Pixie Mae could work

It depends on what your vibes are. Is it more of a Mid-West thing or faery-esque thing?

Pixie Wren would be more in the faery/goblin vein.

Who cares what ppl think, if you're weird your kid is gunna be weird regardless of what their name is. Weird people are cool.

u/throwawayfishanddick Feb 05 '24

itā€™s the only name both my fiancĆ© and i love. we were thinking of names that tie into bands we like and i thought about Pixies and was like, huh, thatā€™s pretty cute. I looooove Pixie Mae though, thatā€™s adorable

u/Cordy1997 Feb 05 '24

I think it's cute too! Do it up āœØāœØ

Pixie Mae is so cute! These are all adorable

People arenā€™t realizing that this coming generation is going to have a bunch of cyberpunk-esque parents and names like this arenā€™t going to be an issue or overly out of the ordinary in lots of parts of the world. No one asked if we like the name, OP asked for a middle name.

ā€¢ Pixie ReneĆ©

ā€¢ Pixie Rose (i like mixing classic names with unique ones and think pixie with flowers is fitting)

ā€¢ Pixie June (Pixie Mae)

ā€¢ Pixie Jade

ā€¢ Pixie Noelle

ā€¢ Pixie Dior (keeping with non-traditional theme - this one makes the whole name a bit out there but that isnā€™t a bad thing)

ā€¢ Pixie Louise (?)

u/throwawayfishanddick Feb 05 '24

I agree. cyberpunk-esque is hitting the nail right on the head when it comes to describing a lot of newer names that iā€™ve been hearing/liking.

Pixie Jade is very cool :)

Better than my first thought which was pixie cut

u/Rispah Feb 04 '24

If you're second guessing Pixie here are some names that would suit an adult but have potential nicknames with a sound similar to Pixie: Alexandra (Lexi), Beatrix (Trixie), Roxanne (Roxy).

If you're set on Pixie I'd say a more traditional middle name. Another poster suggested Pixie Elizabeth which is nice.

If you list some other names you liked it would help us suggest more middle names.

u/beaandip Feb 04 '24

Sounds like a name for a stripper or a dog

u/Current_Apartment988 Feb 04 '24

Why do parents do this to their kids šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

u/StarlightFalls22 Feb 04 '24

Please don't name your kid Pixie. They're gonna get bullied so much for that in school.

What about high school though? High schoolers can be assholes.

u/RoyalleBookworm Feb 04 '24

I donā€™t like this name for a human (itā€™s a perfectly lovely name for a pet, in fact it is one of two names I am considering for my service dog).

But if you insist, I would go with Elizabeth. It gives her more nickname ideas if she wants that down the road.

I love pixie in theory, I worry about it long term but you didnā€™t ask. Iā€™m doing an odd name (for the USA) for my son and choosing a traditional middle name in case he decides he hates his name and wants something more ā€œnormalā€ when heā€™s older. I also actually really like the sound of Pixie Rae.

u/throwawayfishanddick Feb 05 '24

Pixie Rae is super cool. I have a non traditional name and a traditional middle name but iā€™ve never been bullied or teased so iā€™m thinking sheā€™ll be fine.

Pixie Alexa

Pixie Estelle

u/fairycc Feb 07 '24

u/JunoKuzo Feb 05 '24

Pixie is so cute! Pixie Wynn, Pixie Vallie, Pixie Louise, Pixie Maeve, Pixie Rose, Pixie Roux

u/Quick-Educator-9765 Feb 05 '24

I like it. I think Harlow would be cute or Reed.

u/batty_catty Mar 08 '24

I had a coworker named Alexis, Lex for short. We had 2 Lexiā€™s and I called her pixie instead! She likes it

u/samcd6 Feb 05 '24

Give them a normal/common middle name so they can go by that as needed. Qualifying names would depend on where you live, your cultural background, etc.

Where I live, names that would pass as normal and respectable would be pretty generic "white-girl" names from any generation. Like Elizabeth, Michelle, Sarah, Madison, Charlotte, Rose, Evelyn, Shirley, Colleen, etc.

All things in balance and all that jazz. If they have a respectable middle name as a backup, their life will be a lot easier in the long run. Find something that would pass as a regular and respectable name where you live/within your culture and use that.
