I am pretty much decided on Dulcie,
Second choices for first name are Bella or Lara
However I am stuck, I always wanted middle name to be sally (nans name) I'm not sure Dulcie Sally goes very well, my mums name is Alexandra,
Does Dulcie Alexandra sound better? Surname is Rogers.
Please give opinions :)

Dulcie Alexandra sounds really nice

Jemimapuddleduckpancake · 20/06/2019 03:40

Dulcie Alexandra is much better Smile

Aquamarine1029 · 20/06/2019 03:46

Sally is not an attractive name at all. Alexandra is beautiful and classic.

dreichuplands · 20/06/2019 04:01

Alexandra works much better.

AmyMaria2 · 20/06/2019 04:08

I do agree Dulcie Alexandra sounds nicer, just always had my heart set on my nans name (sally) as a middle name!
DP thinks it has to be
Lara Sally
Or
Dulcie Alexandra

And I am really keen on Dulcie for the first nameHmm

I think Sally is an alternative to Sarah - Dulcie Sarah sounds nice?

Astronica · 20/06/2019 04:26

Another option could be to have 3 names, eg Dulcie Lara Sally. I do think Dulcie Alexandra sounds good though, and agree the other option is Lara Sally.

Originally I didn't think it worked but saying it a few times I think it's ok. I have a 6 month old and hardly anyone asks about the middle name which was named in honour of my gran. I love using it though and knowing I did x

Elderflower14 · 20/06/2019 07:45

Can't you have both names? Dulcie Alexandra Sally?

Watersnail · 20/06/2019 09:17

Dulcie Alexandra is a nice combination.

Dulcibella is a name so Dulcie and Bella as siblings would sound like half a name each.

AverageMummy · 20/06/2019 09:29

Dulcie Alexandra is beautiful
Lara & Bella are not classic or anywhere near as nice
Dulcie Alexandra Sallie sounds great

AverageMummy · 20/06/2019 09:30

Dulcibella Sallie also works

Girlies1019 · 20/06/2019 09:34

Dulcie Alexandra sally Rogers is lovely.. we used two middle names to get grandparents in..

DrDentyst · 20/06/2019 10:58

Dulcie Salandra

Sophronia · 20/06/2019 11:01

Dulcie Alexandra Sally sounds good.

Sophronia · 20/06/2019 11:02

But I do prefer Lara Sally.

Marcipex · 20/06/2019 11:04

Dulcie Alexandra Sally is nice, and not too long.

singymummy · 20/06/2019 11:27

I think Dulcie Alexandra Sally works nicely and a homage to your mum and nan Smile

PinkieTuscadero · 20/06/2019 12:48

Seems a shame not to use Sally as a middle name seeing as it means so much to you. The sentimental reasons would be far more important to me than whether or not the two names 'go' together.

Owlbert · 20/06/2019 12:55

I would go Dulcie Alexandra Sally and 2 middle names

carmenbea · 20/06/2019 13:44

I like dulcie Bella

Shadow1234 · 20/06/2019 17:36

Really like the name Dulcie btw.

Also agree with having two middle names - Dulcie Alexandra Sally sounds fine (and that way you get to have your nans name in there).

AlliKaneErikson · 20/06/2019 22:00

Lara is my favourite of your names (it’s my dd). I agree that Lara Sally and Dulcie Alexandra are the best combinations.

AmyMaria2 · 21/06/2019 02:53

Thanks so much everyone, I always thought Dulcie Alexandra Sally was too long..

Been set on sally(nans name) as a middle name for so long and hope that another baby in the future would have the middle name Alexandra (mum)

Just worried that I want them both in there!

glad everyone is keen on Dulcie, I'm pretty sure that on that for first name.
Thanks so much x

Otherwise Dulcie Alexandra
