Only a few weeks to go and we have finally decided on Duke for a boy and Dulcie for a girl yay :-) x

Love Dulcie - so cute. Duke makes me think of a hard to home rescue dog with behavioural issues and a spotted scarf round his neck.

Mouthfulofquiz · 12/12/2015 16:05

Duke is along the same lines as 'Saint / Reign / Royal' if you get what I'm saying...

Mouthfulofquiz · 12/12/2015 16:06

Although, there was a Duke Ellington song that I used to enjoy playing when I was in the school band.

TyrionLannistersShadow · 12/12/2015 16:07

Honestly? Dulcie is pretty but Duke is a dogs name to me, sorry!

SerenityReynolds · 12/12/2015 16:08

Dulcie is fine. Not my cup of tea, but fine.

Really don't like Duke.

honeysucklejasmine · 12/12/2015 16:09

I don't think this is a good place to post once you have decided. You'll only get people telling you how much they hate it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/12/2015 16:09

Dulcie is lovely.

Duke is awful.

Nospringflower · 12/12/2015 16:12

Like Dulcie, not so keen on Duke.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 12/12/2015 16:14

Duke makes me think of Giuliana Rancic from E! News' kid. I don't mind it but it does sound like a celeb name. Dulice is nice but a bit cutesy for my taste, I prefer Dolce.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 12/12/2015 16:15

*Dulcie!

Jivetoes · 12/12/2015 16:15

Dulcie is lovely, but I really don't like Duke.

StDogolphin · 12/12/2015 16:15

Really? To rhyme with Puke? How about Luke? Grin

goldglittershitter · 12/12/2015 16:16

Am with PP, Dulcie is sweet but Duke is a dog's name. Sorry OP!

BBQueen · 12/12/2015 16:16

How do you say Dulcie? Dull-Chi or Dull-See?

SoupDragon · 12/12/2015 16:16

I think they are both dreadful but I really don't know why you are asking if you have made up your mind.

BBQueen · 12/12/2015 16:17

I quite like Duke, but have a speech impediment and would get confused about whether to say Dook or Jook IYKWIM.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 12/12/2015 16:25

I knew a Dulcie at school - she was lovely.
I hope if it's a boy he can carry off Duke.
If your heart's set on these it won't matter what people say but hope you put on something flame proof before posting...

maybebabybee · 12/12/2015 17:23

Dulcie is quite cute.

Duke is bloody awful, sorry - pet's name, not a child's.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/12/2015 17:25

Don't like either, sorry - but it's none of my business, of course. Dulcie isn't a name I like but it's a zillion times better than Duke.

Tiggeryoubastard · 12/12/2015 17:28

Dulcie is inoffensive. Duke is hideous.

Duke is an aggressive Alsatian from a rescue centre.

Dulcie is sweet.

ScarlettDarling · 12/12/2015 17:34

Yikes...Duke is awful, sorry.

Not keen on Dulcie either, what about Darcy? Similar but much nicer.

JellyBaby26 · 12/12/2015 17:37

Duke is Marlene and boyce's dog on only fools...

Neither are for me and I don't think I'd appreciate being called either!

I'm not going to comment as you have already decided the names.
