| I just heard it, and I kind of love it for my daughter. Or if not as a first name can I use it as a middle name. |

Are you okay with naming your baby after a soda?

But because you like cheesey -ie nicknames as real names. Even though it's SUPPOSED to be a nickname **eye roll**
- Trixie - Ponie - Josie - Posie - Rosie - Jessie - Tessie - Cutie Boo - Cutie - Cutie LuvLuv |

Josie, Rosie, and Jessie are all fine, the rest of these (and Moxie) are ridiculous. Even with those three, I'd go with Josephine, Rose, and Jessica and just use use the cutesy version as a nn, so they have the option of using their full name or a less cute nn when they are older. That's what we did for our DD. It's easy to call a toddler or even elementary kid a cute nickname if it suits them. But we will not force it on her and we always ask her each year what she'd like us to put on the paperwork at school so that if she wants to be called something else, we can put that down and go by that. OP, some name ideas that might work with nn Moxie: Maureen (my personal favorite), Monica, Monroe. |

Yes, if you read the article it says that the word became part of the English language after an aggressive marketing campaign by the soda company. |

I like it as a nickname.
Maybe something like Mary Roxanne, “Moxie” |
