Considering that the word “minx” is often colloquially used to refer to hyper-sexual, often manipulative women, I would not use it myself. I would not want somebody thinking of those traits when they think about my little girl. The spotlight would always be on whether or not she was living up to those traits, which can sometimes influence somebody to embrace one extreme or the other. On top of that it’s very nicknamey and cutesy-sounding and doesn’t seem like it would age well. “Supreme Court Justice Minxie Smith” or “Nobel Laureate Minxie Jones” sounds a bit ridiculous.
