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.

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

yesnowplease · 08/04/2017 18:30

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

Sophronia · 08/04/2017 18:30

I'd lose the -Mae part.

youarenotkiddingme · 08/04/2017 18:30

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

Dulcie is ok - prefer Darcy/Darcie myself though.

PotteringAlong · 08/04/2017 18:28

Dulcie is lovely. Stick with that.

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.

I prefer Katie-mae

Awful. Sorry op. Imagine being a grown woman called that Confused

Plaintalkin · 08/04/2017 18:23

Not for me I'm afraid.

Heratnumber7 · 08/04/2017 18:22

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

Cynara · 08/04/2017 18:22

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

Queensparkles · 08/04/2017 18:21

Reminds me of dulce et decorum est

Redyellowpinkblue · 08/04/2017 18:18

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!

reallyanotherone · 08/04/2017 18:18

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.

IncidentalAnarchist · 08/04/2017 18:17

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

JoandMax · 08/04/2017 18:16

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

But if you love it go for it!

Heratnumber7 · 08/04/2017 18:16

No. Too twee for me.
