Hebe Theodora or Dulcie Clementine?

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Pick your favourite please

(Dulcie Theodora might work too,but I don't like Hebe Clementine)

Love Clementine Theodora for a shorter version, how about Clemence Theodora?

Or Hebe Theodora Clementine.

Not keen on Dulcie at all. Sorry.

Yes, Dulcie Theodora is lovely. I think you should go for it.

Disclaimer - each of my dc have 3 middle names and I didn't and don't give a toss that this is not The Done Thing. :o

Dulcie is lovely! Also love Theodora and Clementine, and all three in any combination are great.

No. I'm afraid it reminds me of Hinge and Bracket. Sorry OP.

Clementine-Theodora. Clemmy-Dor.

Eh?!

Clemmy-door WTAF?

I'm not even proposing to use clementine and Theodora together

Hebe is lovely.

I wouldnt stress about middle names too much. You never use them in real life anyway.

Hebe is lovely. Clementine is also nice, but not together.

Theodora and Dulcie are dire, and the combinations do not work, especially with a double-barrelled name.

Iris is nice.

Hebe Margo is ok.

Hebe Edith might work

I like them all except Dulcie. I think Dulcie is awful, sorry.

I find Dulcie really unattractive sounding and don't get why people on love itmso much. DD's name often has the same said about it tbf and it's on this page :).

All of the others are nice but Hebe Theodora sounds harsh to my ear and a bit repetitive dorsome reason. I like Hebe Clementine.

I do too BigBong It always conjures up an image of a loud fishwife with a hacking smoker's cough to me.

Yeah,well I also love Myrtle and Mildred so I obviously like the dusty/fishwife sort of names

Currently falling in love again with Ivy...it was on our list last time (but DC2 was DS)
I'm due in December....to twee?

I don't dislike Ivy, and don't particularly think it's twee, but for me it always makes me think of evil Ivy Brennan in Corrie, and certainly if I used it that would be the first comment from every single member of my extended Mancunian family

Do you like Hebe Dorothea?

Hebe is such a prosaic plant is the problem for me, more of a shrub? Love dulce and ivy :)

I have never,ever,seen corrie,or east enders or any other intentionally depressing soap operas. thank god So I don't particularly care about characters therein

No,not hugely keen on Dorothea....which is odd I suppose.

Girls names are doing my head in...I might move on to boys names for a bit....seeing as the baby refused to perform for the camera and is only 'probably' a girl

Ivy lovely. Ivy hasn't been in corrie for about 20 years. Wouldn't worry about it. I like the winter association.

Hebe Myrtle would be really sweet
Ivy Clementine also lovely

Iris Theodora sounds ok to my ear too

Hebe is great. Strong, versatile.

I agree with whoever said Dulcie was wet. It is a very 'girly' name, and what if she isn't?

I like all of those names. I prefer Dulcie and I think it goes with either middle name. If I had to pick one I would go with Dulcie Theodora. You rarely say someone's whole name together so I don't think it matters having a long middle name and double barrelled surname.

I don't think of Dulcie as girly at all....I'm not at all girly,though DD1 is...so I know it's not a genetic thing

I like Hebe. I like Theodora. Clementine mmm yes maybe.

But if you combine any of these I think it sounds...pretentious? Perhaps a bit affected?

But I like quite plain things and plain names so who gives a hoot as to my bollocks opinion.

But Dulcie is truly awful. "Dulcet" tones. It just sounds a bit vomit like. Sorry OP.

Hebe. that's lovely. Hebe Jane. A nice plain middle name to offset the flowery first one.

I think two flowery OTT names spoil each other. Bit like having strawberry and chocolate at the same time....

Christ, I'm rambling. Long day.

Strawberry and chocolate are Luffley together

This thread has been rather enlightening! MILs middle name was Dulcie so it's a strong contender for DC2 if its a girl. I'd never heard it before, and I still hear 'dull' when it's spoken. Hmmmmm!

OP I'd go for Hebe or Ivy as a first name - especially as you have a long surname.
Margot is lovely for a mn, I don't dislike any of your other names, just find them a bit long.

Yy to Hebe Myrtle.
