Alcie

[PassportBridgetPants]

Just found Alcie in a list of girls' names meaning 'strong'. Probably a bit nicknamey to win DH round but might be an alternative for people considering Dulcie?

I’d assumed it was a typo and was supposed to be Alice.

I first read it as Alice then retook and saw it was

Alcie?
Not Alice?

It looks like a shortening of alcoholic.

Hmm I'd think they've spelled Alice wrong or else it sounds like Alky as in alcoholic

I would also assume it was a typo. I did, in fact.

Is it meant to be like Elsie?

It’s spelt Elsie

Alcie U. Nextweek

Sorry posted too soon

Alcie (Al-sea)?

Lovely name, maybe be prepared for people to think Alice first. The human mind is programmed to do this with jumbled letters.

Eg.
"It deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

I read it as Alcy as in alcoholic.

Personally I wouldn’t - could you call her Alice and nick name her alcie at home?

If I saw it written down I'd think you meant Alice.

If it's pronounced how I think it is I'd think you'd said Elsie.

And yeah, I also though alcoholic.

I misread it as Alice too but I think it's pretty. People mixing it up with Alice (writing) and Elsie (speaking) would put me off though, I'm short on patience.

I didn't make the alcoholic connection at all.

It’s awful

It looks like a typo of Alice

My first thought on realising it wasn’t was alky as in alcoholic

Spelt ‘Elsie’, then yes, one of my favourite names actually. ‘Alcie’ makes me think it’s pronounced ‘Alky’ as well.

Alky

Alky Ulcer Alice Elsie Dulcie Alcie. All very similar.

I didn’t read Alky at all but I did think Alice. Alcie actually sounds very beautiful but written down it just looks like a typo unfortunately.

Elsie is definitely better. Still pretty but doesn’t look like you’ve misspelled Alice.

I thought you were asking about a nn for a boy named Alcide (before opening the thread), tbh...

Sounds nice. Looks dreadful

Ha, ok. Yep had been thinking to pronounce it Al-see. Didn't think of the alky or Alice thing. Ah well.

Sorry I read it as a slang name for alcoholic

No it looks wrong. Like a typo of Alice.

It looks like a miss spelling and sounds like "I'll see".

Alice is lovely and Dulce is sweet.

I guess you could spell it Alsie? Or Elsie. Elsie is lovely imo.

I personally really don't like Dulcie.

Just looks like a typo of Alice tbh. It has a nice sound and meaning but I wouldn't use it.
