New name for baby girl 🙄

[Savannahmarie]

We were settled and so happy with the name Dulcie-Mae Reign for our 3rd baby, 2nd daughter but I told my cousin who had a baby girl last week once we’d decided. She has now named her daughter Dolly Mae, so we can no longer use the name Dulcie-Mae as they are very similar. I should’ve learnt after I told everyone the name of my first daughter before she was born and a friend used the middle name as a first name. But the kids are now besties so it’s quite cute Isabella Ivy and Ivy Mabel. Anyone have any ideas for a new name for her as we can’t find one we love as much as Dulcie 💖 thanks huns

It's bloody awful and common (as in used by commoners rather than common as in popular

Are you a member of the royal family or aristocracy, TokenGinger? If not, you're a commoner too, as are the vast majority of people on mumsnet. At least get your terminology right when trying to be superior.

Oh I don't like Dulcie but I quite like Dolcie (the 'u' would sound crap with my accent, that's why).

Dolcie Raine is cute. Or could you not use Raine as the first name?

I don't like Dulcie - I hear Dull, but Dolly is nice.
Mae is a bit downmarket and overused as a middle name, and if a name is hyphenated it always seems to be -Mae or -May.
Reign is an odd choice of spelling.
Mae Reign - it may rain?

Dulcie Raine is lovely. Not everyone will like it but who cares if you love it. Congratulations

Yeah right.

Sack off Mae it's naff, she's done you a favour. Dulcie is lovely and not too similar to Dolly.

I’d imagine that Dulcie and Dolly would hail from a council estate, have their ears pierced as tiny babies and get pregnant at 15.

I don't think it's bad. Just go for Dulcie Mae if u don't want to then just choose an alternative middle name for example- Dulcie Florence Mae surname. Still including the Mae.

Dulcie is sweet.
I don't like Reign - that looks like a mistake! I know a Raine though.

Isn't Dolcie an old shoe shop?
I'm not keen but at least Dulcie is an actusl name.

Dolcis was the shoe shop.

Along the same lines as your choice, why not 'Rainey'?

@Hulagirla don't hold back, tell us all what you really think
OP Dulcie is lovely. I would spell Reign differently, though, as Rain or Raine.

@JonnyPocketRocket I saw someone post 'sounds like a drag queen' on one of these the other day, I thought it was a lovely name!- everyones got an opinion huh (shame they have no filter though!)

Isn't Dulcie the name of an old actress .... Dulcie Gray is her full name.

Dulcie Rae?

Has anyone read the book Dulcima by H E Bates? That is a variation of the name.

Someone else suggested Dulcie Wren which I was going to suggest. It’s so unusual and pretty.

Reign is not a name. It is the period of rule of a monarch.

Hyphenated names are absolutely awful so I’m glad you’re dropping Mae. You’ve just saved your daughter from a lifetime of being pitied.

‘Thanks huns’
I think we’re being goaded...

Me too CustomerCervixDepartment ( nice name btw ) surprised at the many posters that don’t.
