My understanding regarding the name Nixie is that the official tubes were known as 'N'umerical 'I'ndicator Tubes. The N from numerical and the I from indicator became the "NI" of the word NIxie. Ira.

Could this book have something to do with the naming of Nixies?

The title is: "Pixie, Dixie, Trixie, and Nixie" and it is written by Dorothy and Marguerite Bryan and supposedly published in 1950. Burroughs made a Pixie tube, a Trixie socket for the Pixie tube and also Nixies, however I haven't heard of a Dixie though.
