We are due our baby girl soon. We already have an Isabella (Bella), Arthur and Archie. We have shortlisted 3 names, what do you think goes best? Thank you.

Connie (just Connie, not a fan of Constance)
Dulcie
Posie

Connie and Posie are my fave

Thanks all! Yes I would pronounce Dulcie as Doll-see. Really stuck on Dulcie or Connie, Dulcie I have loved for years but never had the guts to go for it!

Between these 2, Connie

DragonFly98 · 14/10/2023 21:12

Connie, but Posie is also cute , hate Dulcie sorry I know it's a bit mean but but it just sounds chavy.

Ifyoulikealotofchocolateonyourbiscuit · 14/10/2023 21:13

Connie for sure

FASDE1517 · 14/10/2023 21:14

Connie. Goes well with your other children's names. And I like the AABC of the initials!

EtiennePalmiere · 14/10/2023 21:30

Posie! If you're open to suggestions what about Pauline ?

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/10/2023 22:16

Favourite is Posie but Connie goes best 👍

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 14/10/2023 22:19

I like Dulce.

Love all your names so far. I think Connie of the three.

Dulcie

I'm not sure if this is dull see or doll chey so your dd will probably have the same
Problem

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 14/10/2023 22:30

Darcie is also cute if you want another similar name
In the mix

Ihatemondays1962 · 14/10/2023 22:30

Connie is the nicest by far.

Theoldwoman · 14/10/2023 22:38

I’m not a fan of any and Isabella is much much nicer than any. But if you are cer, then Connie.

GG1986 · 14/10/2023 22:54

Connie, it also goes Nice with your other children's names.

JamSandle · 14/10/2023 22:57

Connie

BronnauMawrion · 14/10/2023 23:01

I used to know an old lady called Dulcie and she was an absolute fire-cracker! Sharp as anything and tongue like a whip. Loved her!

But I much prefer Connie in your list. What about Cornelia as a full name, with Connie for nn?

Snugglemonkey · 14/10/2023 23:17

Connie or Dulcie. Posie is not a great name for a woman.

ellenpartridge · 14/10/2023 23:26

Connie

Squidwitch · 14/10/2023 23:32

I think Connie is nicest, no room for any error. I could see a future of Posie being said as Possie and Dulcie as Dolchee

BlowingAway · 14/10/2023 23:52

Connie for sure.

I also like Bonnie suggested above as an alternative that's similar to the others.

user1492757084 · 15/10/2023 04:43

Isabella, Arthur, Archie and Dulcie wins for me.
Constance is my next choice.
Posy or Posie are sweet but definite nick names for say .. Primrose, Rosemary or Rosa. Poesy means poetry.

JustWhatWeDontNeed · 15/10/2023 05:00

I don't like any of them (sorry).

Connie is the best of the bunch but it's surely a shortened version of something? Dulcie is awful. Posie sounds like a pets name or a nickname. I would not want it as an adult.

Berlinlover · 15/10/2023 06:41

I don’t like any of them.

muddyford · 15/10/2023 06:42

Grim. Think again. It's Posy, btw.

WAC1 · 15/10/2023 06:45

I love Connie. If you call her 'Dulcie', I think people will pronounce it 'Dulcie' not 'Doll-Coe'
