even though at my age im not going to have another baby, if i did, and if it was a girl, she may well have been a Dulcie. i think its lovely.

Is it short for Dulcimer, or is that a word for something else?

Just googled it, a dulcimer is a musical instrument. [I'll get my coat]

well if i used the name i would just use dulcie. full stop. almost makes me broody for another girl. i said almost.... (dd is 12, just getting hormonal.) so it will remain my fantasy DD name.

TSC....id sneak it back on your list.

I have a 5 year old Dulcie, beautiful name.

Dulcie is nice. Goes well with my first daughter, too. Wonder if I can convince my husband, though. He's already nixed Winifred and Florence. I don't think he's really a granny chic sort of person.

I know three Sadies under 5, I think it's getting popular aain.

Dulcie was on my list but has been poo-pooed by DH. I was having poncy literary allusions and had taken it as short for Dulcinea from Don Quixote.

Still think it's lovely though.

What's the name of the woman who wrote 101 dalmations. Wasn't she Dulcie Smith?

Ignore me. She was a Dodie - short for Dorothy apparently.

Sherbet - that was Dodie Smith, nn for Dorothy apparently.

I love Dulcie - it's beautiful but my DD has an old lady name so it's probably my thing.

How do you pronounce Dulcie? Dull-chee, Dool-kee? Honestly, I have no idea
