even though at my age im not going to have another baby, if i did, and if it was a girl, she may well have been a Dulcie. i think its lovely.

Sadie is lovely. But Dull-see just doesn't sound elegant imo.

FranSanDisco · 28/05/2010 13:00

Wasn't there an actress Dulcie Grey? I love it and I love Sadie. DH wouldn't have either so DD is saddled with safe and popular type name (which I also love).

rachel234 · 28/05/2010 12:55

Hhm, a name starting with Dull....

I'd say Dull-see.

rachel234 · 28/05/2010 09:55

How do you pronounce Dulcie? Dull-chee, Dool-kee? Honestly, I have no idea

DastardlyandSmugly · 28/05/2010 09:10

I love Dulcie - it's beautiful but my DD has an old lady name so it's probably my thing.

Oops - cross message

treas · 28/05/2010 08:53

Sherbet - that was Dodie Smith, nn for Dorothy apparently.

SherbetDibDab · 28/05/2010 08:50

Ignore me. She was a Dodie - short for Dorothy apparently.

SherbetDibDab · 28/05/2010 08:49

What's the name of the woman who wrote 101 dalmations. Wasn't she Dulcie Smith?

I think it's a beautiful name.

MarthaQuest · 28/05/2010 07:20

There's a baby Dulcimer in 'At the Back of the North Wind' IIRC- hardly chav

Rocinante · 28/05/2010 07:13

Dulcie was on my list but has been poo-pooed by DH. I was having poncy literary allusions and had taken it as short for Dulcinea from Don Quixote.

Still think it's lovely though.

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 28/05/2010 07:10

Dulcie is nice. Goes well with my first daughter, too. Wonder if I can convince my husband, though. He's already nixed Winifred and Florence. I don't think he's really a granny chic sort of person.

I know three Sadies under 5, I think it's getting popular aain.

theagedparent · 28/05/2010 06:59

I have a 5 year old Dulcie, beautiful name.

scurryfunge · 28/05/2010 00:01

I love all those names....Sadie is great, not heard it for a while

well if i used the name i would just use dulcie. full stop. almost makes me broody for another girl. i said almost.... (dd is 12, just getting hormonal.) so it will remain my fantasy DD name.

TSC....id sneak it back on your list.

Just googled it, a dulcimer is a musical instrument. [I'll get my coat]

Nyx · 27/05/2010 23:49

Is it short for Dulcimer, or is that a word for something else?
