[name]Seraphina[/name] may be popular in the Nameberry world but I don’t think you should worry about the outside world. [name]Serendipity[/name] means a “happy accident” or “pleasant surprise”. I guess a lot of children are conceived unexpectedly but I don’t know if I would want to be reminded of that fact everytime I thought of my name. I don’t like [name]Serendipity[/name] (it’s more the dipity part which makes me think of hair gel aka dippity-do). [name]Pixie[/name] is much too cutesy to take seriously. It’s a haircut or a sprite. [name]Seraphina[/name] would age much better!

I second (or third) this.

I wouldn’t saddle a child with the first name [name_f]Pixie[/name_f]. I think it would be a very difficult one to carry. As a nn, it totally works though! Here are some names that I think would work with [name_f]Pixie[/name_f] as a nn.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_f]Dixie[/name_f]
[name_u]Pax[/name_u]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u]
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]

Of course, most are a stretch, but so is [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pixie[/name_f].

I don’t see it as a name tbh…it just doesn’t feel like that…I can bear [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], [name_f]Serene[/name_f]…
[name_f]Pixie[/name_f] is super cute but I would never used it as a first and even a middle…
