No. Too twee for me.

I really like Dulcie but not keen on the Mae addition.....

But if you love it go for it!

Personal hatred of -Mai as it seems every other girl has it. Yuck.
Like Dulcie though!

I like it.

I wouldn't hyphenate though. Name-mae is everywhere these days, tilly-mae, gracie-mae, or some version.

Dulcie is nice on it's own, with mae as a middle name. You can still call her dulcie mae if you want.

Dulcie on its own is lovely, adding Mae ruins it for me. Especially the quirky spelling that seems to be so fashionable Hmm
But Dulcie on its own is a really lovely name!

Reminds me of dulce et decorum est

Agree with pp about Dulcie being nice but Mae being both twee and ubiquitous.

May is nicer than May IMO. But I'd also lose the hyphen

Not for me I'm afraid.

Anything-Mae is very unpopular on MN.
Anything with a hyphen is very unpopular on MN.
So it will be a Big Fat No.

if you like it don't ask here if you don't want to hear negative opinions.

Dulcie is lovely. Stick with that.

I'd lose the -Mae part.

I like May as a middle name but not Mae or hyphenated.

Dulcie is ok - prefer Darcy/Darcie myself though.

As with the others, the adding of Mae/May/Mai ruins the name. Otherwise it's nice.

Hate all hyphens but Mae is one of the worst. Dulcie is nice though.

Stop thinking of her as a baby. Think of her as a dumpy teenager not yet grown into her looks. A kick ass criminal barrister. An MP. A mechanic. An elegant old lady.

Sorry, not keen on either OP.

And Dulcie means sweet. What sort of a name is that for a woman facing the world?

Report
troodiedoo · 08/04/2017 18:38

It's a no from me sorry. Sounds like a fancy cheese.

Agree with ditching the -Mae

Dulcie on its own is much better.

Dulcimer is nice - I had a great aunt with this name!

Mae is nice on its own but far too naff when tagged on as double barrelled- Lily-Mae, Ellie-May etc

CactusFred · 08/04/2017 18:41

Ffs autocorrect Dulcimer is not a nice name lol

Dulcie on its own is OK-ish. Not keen on the -Mae bit.
