Dulcie is lovely, so is Delilah. I like Flora the least but it's still a good name. I think I would choose to be called Florence over Flora because of the margarine.

Firebird83 · 12/08/2021 21:00

Flora is lovely ☺️

Katefoster · 12/08/2021 19:59

Love flora

Chunkymenrock · 11/08/2021 20:41

I also don't like any name that finishes with your gob hanging open, like Delilah. Dulcie is sweet.

Havanalily1806 · 10/08/2021 20:46

Delilah 100%

Flora just reminds me of the spread and really can't take to Dulcie

Chachachawoo · 10/08/2021 20:39

Dulcie

I like the sound of Flora but when it's written down I just think of the marg.

Also like Delilah but don't like the biblical association

FayeFayeFayeFayeFaye · 10/08/2021 20:15

Flora or Delilah. Don’t like Dulcie at all.

Disfordarkchocolate · 10/08/2021 19:50

I love Dulcie, it's a lovely name. I like the others too but that Dulcie is my favourite.

RoseMartha · 10/08/2021 19:49

Flora

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 10/08/2021 19:49

I know a Dulcie who is an absolutely lovely girl. This biases me considerably.

She does get called Dulse, though, as a nickname.

LadyWithLapdog · 10/08/2021 19:49

Flora

SuperSketchy · 10/08/2021 19:48

Delilah Smile

bloominglovelyorange · 10/08/2021 19:47

I love Delilah!

ArriettyTheBorrower · 10/08/2021 13:48

Not a huge fan of any of them. Flora best of a bad bunch.

TatianaBis · 10/08/2021 13:23

Delilah hands down - beautiful name.

Flora - so many, rather dull. Dulcie - grim.

DoucheCanoe · 10/08/2021 13:04

Delilah.

I know a Dulcie - her Mum is constantly asked whether it's pronounced Dull-chee or Dull-see. Someone jokingly said it sounded like a Poundland "Dull-chay and Gobana" which I can't unhear Blush

3womeninaboat · 10/08/2021 12:59

Flora

BlueChampagne · 10/08/2021 12:54

Flora

MargosKaftan · 10/08/2021 12:44

Delilah or Flora.

Babydust13 · 10/08/2021 12:27

Delilah

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/08/2021 12:24

Delilah

Cbeebiesrehab · 10/08/2021 09:57

Delilah seems like quite a punchy, fiery name to me which I like. Florence is very popular so I think that would put me off Flora as it is usually shortened to Flo (from personal experience) unsure about Dulcie, I want to like it but there is something that doesn't seem quite right…maybe it’s the ‘dull’ bit?

rainbowstardrops · 10/08/2021 09:38

I prefer Delilah out of those three.

Nurseynoodles · 10/08/2021 09:31

Flora
