Dulcie-Mae

[FanaticalFox]

Hit me with your opinions. Its already set but we may change if consensus is poor!!

Dulcie on its own is OK-ish. Not keen on the -Mae bit.

I agree! Use Mae as a middle name but I wouldn't hyphenate.

Ok without the hyphenate. Awful with "mae"

No, it's twee and silly.

I went to school with a Dulcie and never met another since so she's definitely likely to be the only one in her class if that sort of thing is important to you.
I am really not keen, Darcie is so much nicer. Sorry. And really dislike Mae.

The hyphen and the Mae bit cheapen the name. If you like the sound of them both just get rid of the hyphen and have Mae as a middle m.

I have a hyphenated first name and it is a real pain. Lots of forms don't cater for it and as more things are done online it does mater.

Sorry I'm not keen on the name either.

Dulcie is nice enough on its own. Dulcie-mai could be a baby nickname.

I met an adult Dulcie recently. She was in her 20s. The bit of her name that stood out when she was introducing herself was Dull. (She had a Northern accent). Put me right off it.

Really not to my taste. Dulcie sounds like a stout tweedy gardening-type woman in her 60s who wears a lot of brown and a necklace outside her poloneck. She's very good at roses and has never been kissed. And the -Mae suffix is very twee.

Sorry, but I'm really not keen on this -May or -Mae thing for girls names just now.

Dulcie, hmm, I don't love it but it's better than Dulcie-Mae.

It's not my taste. At all.

I'm a nursery teacher and I can barely say names now without adding 'May' on the end. It's so popular that it's become the norm.

Dulcie is lovely and unique. Adding Mae to it makes it sound like some throw back American-Southern name, and it makes it sound flaky. Anything with -Mae attached is just bad.

I like dulcie.

I'm with everyone on the mae bit. It's rife.

Why do people add -Mae, -Mai, May- to everything? Do people want to sound all y'all, down home Deep South? Or is it to cutesify everything? I don't get it.

Dulcie passes the 'could you run the Hadron Collider/collect rubbish' test that I feel names should be able to pass.

Dulcie is not a nice name imo.

Mae is lovely as a middle name; yes, every girl has it but every girl of my generation has Louise or Jane as a middle name.

Dulcie is lovely. May is a nice middle name. Hyphenated Mae names are super common atm.

Oh and I agree with everyone who has said don't hyphenate it!

Dulcie was my nanas name. I think it's lovely, but not keen on mae

I have a real soft spot for Dulcie. I think adding the -Mae spoils it a bit by making it too cutesy. Given its meaning, I'd avoid adding another 'sweet' sounding name.

I have a close family member named Dulcie who has always despised her name, and resented her parents for giving it to her. Perhaps if she had a different attitude about her name, I might like it, but as it stands, I think it's awful.

Mae is not great when tacked on anywhere. I much prefer Mae/May as a first name.

No

It is sweet in Spanish. So doesn't need Mae at the end. It's already sweet enough

I love Dulcie. Really dislike Mae/Mai/May

I'm not a fan of Dulcir or of -Mae sorry
