Dulcie Florabel
Mabel clementine
Flora Myrtle

Florabel,clementine and myrtle are firmly middle names,but other than that Im not adverse to switching them about a bit.
Which is your favourite combination?

When I hear Dulcie, I think 'dullard'.

Sorry Dulcies of the world!

I really dislike Dulcie. It's a bit Darcey for me. Sounds really trendy.

Songbird · 26/07/2013 14:49

Dul-see I think 3boys

I really don't like Florabel but any combination of the others is adorable.

Is it definitely a girl? ConfusedGrin

ZolaBuddleia · 26/07/2013 14:45

Dulcie Clementine, definitely.

3boysgirlontheway · 26/07/2013 14:38

How do you pronounce Dulchie? Is it Dull-chee?

Serenity6 · 26/07/2013 13:43

Mabel Clementine.

Frikadellen · 26/07/2013 12:38

I just adore Flora as does DH but our surname starts FL so it was never to be..

Yes,that was a DP compromise... I really shouldn't let him have a say...he can't be trusted. Wink

I like Mabel, I think it would go better with a two syllable middle name though, not three.

Lucie?

Lots of reasons,mainly because we need a short first name to go with our long double barrelled surname.

I want Flora but DH says no. I don't like Dulcie. It doesn't sound like a real name.

mrsbugsywugsy · 25/07/2013 19:01

Flora Clementine

ems1910 · 25/07/2013 18:58

Wow,seems pretty divided...I was hoping for a unanimous decision. Grin

I love the name Mabel.

sleepingbeautiful · 25/07/2013 18:23

Flora or Dulcie, then Clementine.
IMO Mabel is miles behind those two.

Mollie272 · 25/07/2013 17:17

Flora Clementine for me too
