[Opinions] Re: Pixie
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think Pixie would be a cute nickname for a more serious full name, like Patricia or Priscilla, maybe. I like it as a nod to the illustrator of the Rider-Waite tarot, Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith. I don't like it as a full legal name, it conjures up that whole "manic pixie dream girl" trope.
Fairy is still used a slur in some places, I think, although it's old fashioned. Fay is ok, but Fae has a more "fairylike" energy to it. Fay is cloaked in a bit too much vintage dust to seem spritely.
My favourite "fairy" name is probably Peri.
