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)

ps, I think it's like Esme. Ten years ago people would have screwed up their faces at that and considered it smell-of-wee-chic.

I love it! my old Spanish friend's sister was called Dulcie. They said Doolsee.

I don't like Dulcinea though. That sounds like a low fat yoghurt.

I know a Dulce...she is lovely

NO NO NO, it was the name of a boxer dog I knew.

Dulciana
Dulcette
Dulcita
Dulcinea

are all the longer forms

It sounds very old-fashioned to me, but that's not a bad thing. It isn't a name I would use for my own child but meeting a person with that name I would think, "Oh, that's kind of a nice name."

Is it short for something? Besides Dulcinea?

Sorry but I don't like it.

I personally like it very much, but I keep getting told how much of an old lady name it is, and the other kids have a tendancy to say DULLcie, Dunce, and the whole Dolce and Gabbana thing.

Up to you though, my boss screwed her face up when I mentioned it was on my short list.

I knew an elderly lady with this name, she was very posh and as mad as a hatter.

Pronounced Dul-see.
