Do I dare ask for Dulcie opions?!

[rachxx]

Well what do you think?

[ValiumSingleton]

I love it.

I love Lois as well which is kind of a similar feel.

[rachxx]

opinions (my keys are sticking sorry!)

[skidoodly]

I really dislike it. It manages to sound both ugly and sickly sweet to my ears. It is popular around here, so my view may not be a common one.

[ThatVikRinA22]

i like it.

[skidoodly]

How Lois similar to Dulcie? Don't get that...

Although I really don't like that either. It's like it had a missing syllable,

[ValiumSingleton]

I don't know really skidoodly, they just seem like old buddies in an old people's home, but the cool ones. Both very eau de wee chic, but in a good way.

[rachxx]

I know what you mean. A kind of 'genre' of names

[skidoodly]

[lovely74]

Hmmmnn it's ok, but I prefer Darcy

[AllarmBells]

In Sarah Harrison's The Flowers Of The Field there was a Dulcie, short for Dulcimer. It is a great book. I like it.

[AllarmBells]

as in, I like the name Dulcie

[LaundryLyne]

I think it's the "dull" that puts me off Dulcie.

[LJS666]

I think a "real" name would be better. "dulcet tones".

[SirBoobAlot]

Really dislike it, sorry.

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

I love it.

[rachxx]

Thanks for some POSITIVE opinons.

Just because Dulcie isn't used in the country as much anymore does not mean its not 'real'

At the hospital I work at, there are many patients with Dulcie as their name in their eighties, and I don't think any of them have been told their name isn't real.

I like Dulcie, and to be honest once she is at school you will have all the smart answers about how to pronounce and so on.

[blametheparents]

My niece is called Dulcie.
It is often shortened to the first syllable which I hate.

[SirBoobAlot]

If you ask for opinions, you won't only get POSITIVE ones.

[zenoushka]

I don't hate it and I don't love it, I prefer Darcy.

[seeker]

Don't like the meaning - I like women to have strong names. "Sweet" is a wimpy thing to be called, IMHO.

And it doesn't go with being a kick ass lawyer. Or, for that matter, a morose, plump, spotty teenager.

Good name for a baby, though. Trouble is, it's got to suit her for the next 88 years.

Oh, and asking for opinions will get those who agree and those who don't. That's what "opinion" means!

[rachxx]

Lol i understand that negative comments will follow, but when someone gives me an opinion that doesnt fully explan what they mean, then I will of course fight back, haha.

And I hate names that are stereotypical of jobs! God knows what my job title should be based on my name!

zz

[dulciex]

Haha people never called me that for long- most used to call me Dulc! I love being a Dulcie but it's annoying that your name is so unique

[Moomins67]

First thought was the poem Dulce et Decorum est

Second thought... It's not exactly my jam but it's still a name and looks like one I don't see why not

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

I don't like the 'Dull' bit.
How about Darcey.
