[sillyberry]

Please be honest.

[berolina]

lovely

[KatyMac]

It means 'sweet' doesn't it?

[wilkos]

I LOVE IT.

but dh would never let me have it

[puffling]

Freaky I just read this. mty aunt just sent me loads of family tree reseach and a couple of the 1800s ones were called Dulcie. Another was calld Dulce (nicknamed Dulsie).

[TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor]

I absolutely love it. Gorgeous, chic, bit posh but not ludicrously pretentious. Feminine but not girly. Quite a strong name. She would be a character.

But I love all those names that my Mother hates I also love Edith, Lois, Margot, Polly, Mabel and Nancy.

[AbbeyA]

I like it.

[spicemonster]

[Heated]

I know a Dulcie, she has a sister called Verity. Imo it's rather lovely actually.

[cheesesarnie]

[lottiejenkins]

If i was to have a daughter it would def def def be my choice for a girl... it was my dads nickname for my mum when they were courting!!

[loobylu3]

[pagwatch]

Love it.
Fabulous.

[AnnaCliff]

I hate the sound of this name. It sounds very sulky.

[cyteen]

Not my bag.

[suedonim]

It's cute and I think will 'age' well.

I saw a middle-aged Willow in the paper recently and although I love that name for a child it really didn't suit the older woman.

[raindropsonroses]

Twee and sickly sweet.

Problems with teasing because of the only obvious nickname Dull

[zippitippitoes]

no too agatha christie maidservant

[MerryMarigold]

I hate it. My great grandmother was Dulcie and even so I wouldn't dream of using it.

It doesn't sound pretty at all even though the meaning is a bit sickly. Just trying to be a bit too 'I'm having a trendy old fashioned name, but not one that many other people have." Nahhhh

[wheresthehamster]

Agree about dull. Dull Dulcie from Dullsville

[devonsmummy]

I love it - Dh doesn't
When pregnant with DS we had Darcie chosen for a girl - but this seems to have become rather popular around here.
Dulcie is a good alternative I think

[3andnomore]
