HelpRe: Adore it (m)
in reply to a message by Bear
Ooh, I'm liking Dulcie Anghared! Anghared makes me think of Poldark (as you'll know Anghared Rees played Demelza). The edition of the Poldark books I have has her on the cover.
I was considering it with either Louisa (my favourite girl's name at the moment) or Rosanna. My new favourite girl name is Bryony but I'm not sure that Bryony Dulcie works. Sienna has recently been in my head but I'm not sure a modern name like Sienna works with an old-fashioned one like Dulcie although I think Sienna Dulcie flows.

Dulcie Angharad
You are most welcome, and even encouraged, to use Dulcie Angharad on a live littl'un. I'd love to think there's one running around the Earth somewhere. :-)
Both Demelza and Angharad are intertwined in my mind for the same reason as you. Inspired casting. (By the way, I've never seen the Anghared spelling before. Is it a variant?)
On the subject of spelling, I prefer Siena (the city) to Sienna (the orange-brown color). Yes, the single "n" spelling might throw off those who don't look at maps much. But on balance the crayon image in my head of "sienna" is worse. It has a very pretty sound, either way.
I wouldn't call Siena / Sienna modern. But I don't think it's the best match with Dulcie either.
Bryony has the same birght and breezy quality as Dulcie. But you're right; I wouldn't combine them. Louisa Bryony has a nice ring to it.
So many choices. So few children. Why don't people hire us to name their children? We could have a reality show on TLC called, "What Not to Name your Children."

Love the idea - "What Not to Name Your Children"

Oops, I think Anghared may have been a variant I made up!
I've been debating Siena / Sienna for some time and go back and forth on which spelling I prefer. I will ponder Dulcie some more and also Louisa Bryony as well for possible definite future use.
The tv show is a great idea. Can't be any worse than some of the shows you see these days!
