Can I name my baby Moxie?

Moxie is definitely not gender neutral.

Do you like Maxima? Maxine?

Why not just use Moxie as a nickname? It’s cute for a baby/kid but would be awkward for a shy child.

My favorite name combo for the nickname is

Mona Beatrix (Mary Beatrix works too)

My parents gave me a weird name like that and I refused to use it in school, where I would have to deal with some kid asking me what it meant almost every day or making fun of it by rhyming it with other words lthat weren’t so nice. I dropped it legally as soon as I went to college. Just don’t.

What was the name?

I don’t understand this? Are you saying moxie is not gender identifiable or generally? Moxie would definitely be a girls name.

I'm so glad I didn't though because my actual child is so not "Moxie" to the outside world that she might have been made fun of if given that name. She observes the world first before joining in. As a small child she was hesitant and shy. Having that name would have drawn more attention to her in an unpleasant way for her. And it wouldn't have fit her.

You don't know how your child will be.

Anyway, it was so weird to read your post after I went through this same dilemma 12 years ago! What a ride! Good luck!

Somebody should pin this. I feel like pregnant people always want to come up with these really unique names so their kid doesn’t seem ordinary. But you don’t really know what your kid’s personality will be, and also your kid WILL. be special and unique in their own name, even with the most plain Jane name. (See, for example, Jane Lynch—would anyone call her basic? No. She OWNS that name.). I feel lke a baby’s name should be like a basic black dress—she’ll be wearing it every day for the rest of her life so you want it to be something she can make her own as she grows into it.

So lame. I have a #1 name from the year I was born and I can’t stand it. It’s a basic b name and I don’t own it because everyone else is named the same. Wish my mom had named me something more unique or had been even the least bit creative. There’s nothing to grow into because it’s a lame, common name.

Listen, Sarah, get yourself some help. Your name does not define you.

Lol, my guess was Michelle.

FYI, BFD. It’s an awful name either way.

This also applies to names like Moxie.

You're quoting me and yes, I agree and I posted as such to OP. What's your point?

Moxie (the soda) is only available in northern New England. Once when I was on vacation in Maine, I saw some on the shelf in a market and said, "Great, I'll buy a six-pack!" The clerk said, "Are you sure you want to drink that stuff?" I bought it and it was fine. It has some weird Chinese herb in it.

Then there is this:

I live in Florida and Publix has it! Of course, most of us in my area are from NE so....I still don't actually LIKE moxie soda!
