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 think "Docie" potentially comes from Eudocia, that's the only nomial link I can think of. Out of the names you've picked, Mallory is my favourite.

Poor child.

Madeleine is nice, not keen on Quinn but it would still be infinitely preferable to Docie.

Not keen on Docie, reminds me of dossy/dosser. I think Quinn is too much like quim. Mallory, Rowan and Madeleine are nice, I like Madeleine the best.

Quinn and Rowan are definitely the best names on your list....however Quinn Catherine 🤔 sounds like Queen Catherine 😬 I feel like your names and the middle name don't really match each others style

I like all the other names but I dont like Docie and in scotland she'd definitely get called dozy, as in "what a dozy little idiot "

I don't like it, but I'm sure I'd get used to it if I knew one.

I didn't think of dozy first. I actually thought do ci do as in line dancing.

Similar sounds, which I also don't like but you might;

Dulcie
Darcie
Rosie
Josie (short for Josephine maybe?)

Rowan is my favourite from your list.

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

I should have said registered in England and Wales.
You can check the ons which charts every name and how many babies were registered with a name each year. No results for docie.

Dulcie or Josie are prettier

Sorry to be negative, but even in your original post you said you "believe it's pronounced".. It's just not a good name. If you really like it, maybe a middle name...

Prefer Darcy/Darcie x

Rowan is fab.

Rowan is much nicer

I think baby name stats do not list a name if under three uses of it to ensure individuals are not identified so there could be a couple of Docie's a year

Mallory is lovely.
