Esme, its everywhere though.

Esmé for sure. I’m assuming Dolcie is pronounced doll-sea? In which case it sounds like some sort of slang for stupid (like ditzy, dolt etc). As does pp suggestion of Dulcie (dull). With a ch sound I think of coffee (Dolce gusto)

Dolcie? Or do you mean Dulcie?

Dolcie makes me think of the 90's shoe brand so it's a no from me!

Esme is nice.

Dolcie might get misread as Dolce or Dulcie.

Dolcie makes me think of the shoe shop I’m afraid. I did know a Dolce once (pronounced as you would expect, ‘che’ sound at the end). That was nice.

Esme is ok! Dolcie very out there and Esme very not out there, so hard to pick between the 2 - depends what you want really.

Dulcie?

emmathedilemma · 05/01/2022 15:18

Esme, no competition!

I've never heard Dolcie as a name. Dulcie, yes. I prefer Esme. Dolci's, for me, will always be a 1980s shoe shop chain.

Esme. Dolcie makes me think of a pudding.

Esme.

If it's to be pronounced Esmay then Esme if it's Esmee then I much prefer Dolcie. It's funny how even a slightly different pronunciation can make you love or dispise a name.

Esme.
