Hey everyone! I'm new to mumsnet so hello!

The main reason I came on was for advice.. I have a 3 year old little girl named Posie. I absolutely adore the name Posie! I am expecting baby 2 which we found out a few weeks ago was another little girl which we are thrilled about! However, we have a little name dilemma!

We love the name Dolcie, we think it's different, cute and quirky! But we don't know why but we keep thinking Posie and Dolcie sound extremely similar? Do they or is it just us thinking too much?! Any suggestions would be so appreciated. We like names that are different but pretty!

Many thanks, Grace x

Surely the only name to go with Dolcie is Gabbana 😂

Too similar. They sound very twee together.

Firebird83 · 18/11/2020 15:52

I think they’re fine together.

Just reminds me of the shoe shop I frequented as a teen - Dolcis. And there's also a dessert/ ice cream places opened locally called Dolcie.

Omg Tansy though 😍😍😍

StripyTigerTail · 18/11/2020 09:07

I don't think they are too similar! Totally fine. They go well together I think.

I've never heard of Dolcie, I thought it was Dulcie.But I don't think it's too similar to Posie to be unusable.

Never heard of Dolcie - not sure that I'm that keen on it. It does sound similar to Posey, but not in a way that makes it unusable. Other names which you might like are listed below. Personally, I think Tansy would go really well with Posey - very underused but pretty. I know one too, and she's lovely.

Darcy
Dulcie
Florence (Flo, Flossie, Florrie)
Tansy
Lily
Ivy
Daisy
Poppy
Iris
Chloe
Flora
Fleur
Luna
Lucy
Elsie
Clara
Eden
Blossom
Pearl
Clementine
Juniper
Ruby
Daphne
Phoebe

It's a nice name but I agree with you that they sound very similar.

BaseDrops · 18/11/2020 06:56

Darcey is less matchy.

cloverbug · 18/11/2020 06:51

Posie is beautiful! I'm not a fan of Dolcie and do think it's a bit similar but I still thinks it's usable if you love it.

Any other names on your list?
Some suggestions:
