NMS because I always think of "minx" as describing someone tongue-in-cheek as a temptress. Minx was my dad's private nickname for my mother, that he called her affectionately. So I can't picture using Minxie for a baby, that'd feel icky to me personally. If Minxie was somebody's name it wouldn't bother me, it'd just be strange to me. I wouldn't like it ... I generally don't like -xie names like Trixie and Roxie, they sound too "tough" to me. Tricksy, Rocksy, Minksy... like Bugsy, Banksy ... they sound sorta artificially edgy, like characters in an old detective novel. I don't think they're godawful on other people, but they're not to my taste.
