Baby Nixe will never be happier than they are in the depths of the water. A girl’s name, Nixe finds its origins in the German mythological creature nix. It has roots translating to “water elf,” “an imaginary being supposed to live in the water,” or “a water demon, kelpie, or river horse.” Legend has it that the shapeshifting spirits lived in an exquisite underwater palace. Feminine enchantresses, by nature, would attempt to lure people to the water by disguising themselves as human. No doubt your little one will be as charming as their namesake with a moniker like Nixe.
