one of your priorities as a parent is to keep your girl of the pole! with names like these, you're almost guaranteeing that you'll fail in that respect.

Nobody has a crystal ball. I knew a stripper named Theresa. I knew an artist named Lacey and a lawyer named Darcy.

I went to law school with a woman named Bambi. She kicked ass in class and I'm sure she is now a great attorney. Maybe she was super-motivated by her name to prove everyone wrong.

I know a philosophy prof. who changed her name to Bambi. And I also went to law school with a Darcy. I know several successful lawyers named Marcy.

I agree. I used to deal crack with a guy named Tennyson Biddle the third. You can never tell.

Maybe she is a great lawyer by day, but at night Bambi turns tricks outside the 7-11.

Daisy was my grandmother's name. I can't be the only one who associates this name with a dear, sweet old lady, can I?

I took that to mean that there are cute alternatives to this slavery-throwback name, not that there were any particular associations with those alternatives.

You may not know this but the term "dixie" is considered offensive by many african-americans. The song comes from a minstrel show. The name orginally came from Mr. Dixie, the name of a "kind" slave owner. I am not trying to upset anyone here- I think a lot of posts are harsh but if you didn't know this, you probably would want to.

Whoa. I am 14:32.
I wasn't smearing any of the names - I was actually trying to be helpful!

Since the OP likes Dixie so much and is getting such negative feedback, I was trying to suggest names/nicknames that are similar but might not be perceived as offensive, the way Dixie apparently is for some people.

I was thinking (I guess I should have stated it outright) that she could to with something along the lines of a traditional name like Alexandra -- use Lexi as a nickname; it has a similar sound to Dixie but not the same connotations and the kid can use the "real" name as an adult.

Raise your hand if you think Rose is a trailer trash stripper name.

Gosh, you all are SO mean sometimes.

Well, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

And sometimes you have to be cruel just for sh!ts and giggles.
