Help[Opinions] Re: Dixie?
in reply to a message by Kit
No. It sounds cutesy and childish.
Here in Germany it is also the name of a toilet-brand company that sells those toilets that you can move to different places for festivals and stuff. They are called Dixi-Klo (Dixiloo or Dixitoilet).
It also reminds me of "dick".
This is a huge problem and why I wouldn't use the name because using it would be perceived as racist by many:
"In the 21st century, concerns over glorifying the Confederacy led to various things named "Dixie" being renamed, including Dolly Parton's production "Dixie Stampede",[18] the music group Dixie Chicks,[19] and possibly Dixie State University in Utah, as their board of trustees voted unanimously in December 2020 to change the name"

I wouldn't use Gypsy for the same reason and am always kind of shocked when people use it.
