Docie?

It's a Greek girl's name. I believe it's pronounced like "doh-see". I'm leaning towards this name a bit more than the others on our list, so wanted to know everyone's opinion on it. The middle name will be Catherine.

Other names in our list are:

Mallory
Madeleine
Rowan
Quinn

I should've added I like all of your other options, especially Rowan and Quinn Smile

Nell96 · 17/11/2020 13:39

I really dislike it, sorry. As others have said, Josephine (nn Josie) or Darcy would be better options with a similar sound.

Not keen on your other options, apart from Rowan, which I think is a beautiful name for a girl.

Another not a fan.

I think apart from the mispronunciation issues the sounds isn't great.
Dozie docie

Mallory or Quinn for me

AGeeseGoose · 17/11/2020 13:29

It’s too similar to docile for me....I love Madeleine from your list, and I like Rowan and Quinn

Coldwinterahead1 · 17/11/2020 13:27

I agree it sounds like Dozy

jujuball · 17/11/2020 13:26

Too similar to dozy/docile. Josie is nice, or Dulcie?

Swingometer · 17/11/2020 13:22

I'm really not keen sorry

Agree with others that it's a bit too close to Dozy

Darcy much nicer!

ErrolTheDragon · 17/11/2020 13:21

I'm not keen on it myself but maybe Dulcie might be an alternative?

Audreyseyebrows · 17/11/2020 13:21

What about Dulcie?

melisande99 · 17/11/2020 13:20

I'd never heard of it, so googled it and found it listed on one website as a (English) nickname for Eudocia which itself is a Latin form of a Greek name.

I think it would be a pain to live with. Nobody will know it and there's not even an easy explanation. And yes, it made me think of "dosie doe".

KyraGoose · 17/11/2020 13:16

Sounds like dozy or docile. Not great. Sorry.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/11/2020 13:15

Country dancing was the first thing it brought to mind; the second was that it's too close to 'docile'.

lobsteroll · 17/11/2020 13:14

I think Mallory is beautiful and love Quinn too

Twinkie01 · 17/11/2020 13:13

Dreadful. It makes me think of the awful country dancing lessons they put us through at primary school in the 80s doing the docie doh.

icedaisy · 17/11/2020 13:12

I have never heard of it but I really like it. My only slight concern would be is it to close to dozy? May be an accent issue perhaps.
