Do you like this name?

First heard it on a MN, mentioned it to DH and he is stuck on it now.

Wondered what others thought of this name, do you ike it? What are your impressions?

Do you think it wil be a difficult name to live with as its quite unheard of.

Appreciate your honesty.

(We already have an Eva btw)

v pretty but could be shortened to Dull!

It's the kind of name that used to appear in old fashioned school stories, along with Nancy, Audrey and Pamela which also seem to be making a comeback.

I know a Dulcie, and I like it. She shortens it to Dulce.

Never heard Dodie being used as another word for a dummy!! Still like it though.

All I know is that it is a shortened form of Dorothy but I know someone who was actually named Dodie.

Ineedsomesleep · 06/06/2010 11:08

I like it and I only know one little girl with the name so its fairly unusual around here.

FionaSH · 06/06/2010 09:00

Love it.

RhodaMorgenstern · 06/06/2010 01:48

I knew a girl at school called Dulcibella. She went by her middle name of 'Tracy' however! Pity, as I thought Dulcibella was rather fab.

MagalyZz · 06/06/2010 01:41

Dodie!? no. That's another word for a soother or a dummy!

florence2511 · 06/06/2010 01:09

I think it's pretty.

How about Dodie as an alternative? Pretty, under used and as a result there wont be many others out there.

scottishmummy · 05/06/2010 20:52

know a dulcie.like it

candyflossbaby · 05/06/2010 20:35

Dulcie will be all over the place before we know it! And out of fashion just as quick!

bigbluebump · 05/06/2010 15:21

How is saying Dulce shorter than Dulcie .

Why would Dulcie need to be shortened, though?

theagedparent · 05/06/2010 11:38

Lovely name and would be more likely shortened to Dulce rather that Dull

noddyholder · 05/06/2010 10:32

I know one she is so sweet! It is pronounced without the long e sound at the end just a short ah kind of soundNice but actually quite common

MamaLazarou · 05/06/2010 10:29

I like Dulcie. It's refreshingly different without being weird.

LadyOfTheFlowers · 05/06/2010 09:52

Personally I can't see the attraction though I think a lot of MNers quite like it.

meadowlarks · 05/06/2010 00:12

Sorry, but any name with "Dull" in it should be an immediate no.

I am loving it the more I hear it tbh.

thesecondcoming, I think some people will always screw their face up at your name choice. No one likes every name!

Or Elspeth/Elsie?

lidofabiro · 04/06/2010 15:41

It's the "dull" that I'm not keen on. Do you like Darcy, Maisie, Lucy?
