HelpRe: What do you think of Dulcie?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
Dolcie isn’t common in the UK, I’ve never even heard of it!

I was curious so I decided to check. There were 101 babies called Dolcie in England & Wales last year and only 47 named Dulcie. I would have expected it to be the other way round and I thought Dulcie would be a lot more popular, given that old-fashioned names are coming back in.
In answer to your question, I quite like it but I wouldn't use it. I have heard of one or two over the years - a friend of a friend called her baby Dulcie a few years ago.

Seems it is an English name, popular in the 1800s, and early 1900s

It's relatively new in terms of popularity, actually. Sorry for not specifying.

Thanks for clarifying. That’s really not common at all!

Interesting, considering dulcie lost popularity in the early 1900s
