Crat?

How about a first name suggestion? And then stick to Dixie as a middle name

I like Dixie Elizabeth as well. I think a longer middle name works best.

Some other suggestions: Katherine, Amelia, Samantha

I'm in total agreement. In addition to the connotations that are troubling some of the posters, it's a very nicknamey name.

Wow...it never ceases to amaze me the number of judgemental jerks that respond to posts....if you have nothing nice or constructive to say, why respond at all? She didn't ask you if you liked the name Dixie, and I'm sure you're all very proud of your childrens' names even though others think they sound ridiculous (or like they'll sound great as partner names in a law firm - "Peyton, Chandler and Finn, can we help you?").

OP - how about Dixie Marie, or Dixie Elizabeth? Just make sure the initials work with your last name in the event you/she like monogramming (i.e., if your last name starts with an A, then "dAm" as a female style monogram would be a problem

Congrats on DD#2

Agreed. Pick a really nice middle name because she'll probably want to ditch Dixie as soon as she realizes how ridiculous the name is.

Even if they move somewhere farther south, the daughter might want to move up East or out West when she is older. She needs an optional middle name.

are you planning to move to georgia or somewhere south after you have her?

I love the name Dixie too. Here's what I like for middle names:

Dixie Jane
Dixie Sue
Dixie Lynn
Dixie Lee
Dixie Jo

My cousin's name is Dixie but I can't remember her middle name, except that it begins with an A. Anne, maybe?

maybe make whistlin' the first name and shift dixie to the middle?

Dixie Nicole?
Dixie Elizabeth?

Cup?

Chicks?

We fell in love with the name Dixie for DD #2 but cant think of that perfect middle name. We like Mae but feel there is something else better suited. We definitley don't like Lynn...any other ideas?
