New Name Find!

I was on road trip today, and when we stopped for lunch, I was perfectly delighted to have found a new name via the cashier. [name]Fairy[/name] [name]Hyde[/name]. (I changed the surname a little for privacy.) What. A. Name. I did a double take on the spelling and everything, and that was it. She was an old woman, and reminded me a lot of [name]Cicely[/name] [name]Tyson[/name] from Because of [name]Winn[/name] [name]Dixie[/name]. She was awfully pretty too. The name wore fantastically, I thought. And it’s particularly interesting because she must have been born around the 50’s, when much more traditional names were popular. I’ve always had a soft spot for [name]Pixie[/name], [name]Nixie[/name], [name]Primrose[/name], [name]Posy[/name] and other “fairy esque” names, so I was pleased to have met such a blatantly named woman. Made me smile. Anyone have any thoughts on these sort of names? :slight_smile:

If you click on the name link, you see that it was almost top 600 in 1883 and 1905. Interesting!

I think they are a wee bit twee and mildly ridiculous. [name]Just[/name] not my thing. Maybe as a cutesy nickname.

I never thought of it before, but I kinda like it! It would be quite a bold choice though, I wouldn’t use [name]Fairy[/name] with [name]Hyde[/name], I would want to balance it out with a less unusual name just incase!!
