Help[Opinions] Re: Pixie
in reply to a message by Billina
I'd giggle internally, the more so if she were not pixie-like, and then later I'd say to my family, "I met someone named Pixie today. I wonder if it's her real name or something she gave herself. How ridiculous."
Actually, I just hope I could keep the giggling internal. I'm afraid I might not be able to stop a little outward giggle.
If I got to know her well, at some point I'd ask her about it, in a neutral way. "Is that your real name or a nickname?"
I finally had to ask the Jande I work with about her name. I asked if it was something that her parents had invented. She said that yes, her mother had invented it, by combining her own name, Jamie, with her favorite name, Amanda. Then Jande rolled her eyes and said, speaking in an imaginary way to her mother, "Yeah, you were on drugs, weren't you?"
