Docie?

[changerofnames57]

It's a Greek girl's name. I believe it's pronounced like "doh-see". I'm leaning towards this name a bit more than the others on our list, so wanted to know everyone's opinion on it. The middle name will be Catherine.

Other names in our list are:

Mallory
Madeleine
Rowan
Quinn

I have never heard of it but I really like it. My only slight concern would be is it to close to dozy? May be an accent issue perhaps.

Dreadful. It makes me think of the awful country dancing lessons they put us through at primary school in the 80s doing the docie doh.

I think Mallory is beautiful and love Quinn too

Country dancing was the first thing it brought to mind; the second was that it's too close to 'docile'.

Sounds like dozy or docile. Not great. Sorry.

I'd never heard of it, so googled it and found it listed on one website as a (English) nickname for Eudocia which itself is a Latin form of a Greek name.

I think it would be a pain to live with. Nobody will know it and there's not even an easy explanation. And yes, it made me think of "dosie doe".

What about Dulcie?

I'm not keen on it myself but maybe Dulcie might be an alternative?

I'm really not keen sorry

Agree with others that it's a bit too close to Dozy

Darcy much nicer!

Too similar to dozy/docile. Josie is nice, or Dulcie?

I agree it sounds like Dozy

It’s too similar to docile for me....I love Madeleine from your list, and I like Rowan and Quinn

Another not a fan.

I think apart from the mispronunciation issues the sounds isn't great.
Dozie docie

Mallory or Quinn for me

I really dislike it, sorry. As others have said, Josephine (nn Josie) or Darcy would be better options with a similar sound.

Not keen on your other options, apart from Rowan, which I think is a beautiful name for a girl.

I should've added I like all of your other options, especially Rowan and Quinn

Dozy Docie - it's awful OP!

Any of your other names is immeasurably better.

Docia is better. That’s a more used form of the name.
Out of your others, all are fine except Quinn.

Sounds like Taylor Doose from Gilmore Girls.

I thought doh-see-doh immediately followed by Dozy.

It’s not a great name OP.

Fandabidocie?

Mallory sounds clumsy, not sure why but Ancestry says it means "unlucky" or "unhappy".

Quinn is a common Irish surname as well as a chain of Irish convenience stores.
Madelaine is OK.
I like Rowan, could be for a boy or girl.

There's a Youtuber called "Dodie" who's real name is Dorothy, which maybe sounds up your street? Alternatively, Dottie?

Reminds me of the Dohsie doh. Also sounds like the seven dwarves long lost brother “Dozy”.

Sorry OP.

No on in the uk has ever been called this. There are so many beautiful names. Choose one that is at least a recognised name.

Just thought...some people might also mispronounce it as “dossy”...as in “it’s a bit dossy to sit in your pyjamas all day” and “ugh, what a dosser!”.

Of your list I like Mallory a lot.

Or you could have Darcie or Dottie as an alternative?

How do you know no-one in the U.K. has ever been called this?
