Dulcinea

Beautiful, forgotten treasure of a name. It has a bit of a tragic romantic heroine feel but I love that honestly. And how darling is the nickname Dulcie?! Dolly could be another nickname, equally cute. I also like Dulcibella.

I used to know a girl named Dulcinea (pronounced Doll-Cin-Ay-Ah) and it was never said or written correctly. I must say, personally I found the name rather odd, and would never use it myself.

I think it's a wonderful hopeful name. I am married to an Italian and his family has a tradition of naming the eldest son Michael. I respect that so because my name is Darcy I wanted to find a girls name with Spanish roots should we have a girl this will be her name.

So pretty, but too daring for most parents to use (I say "most" because celebrities can get away with naming their kids anything; and this is WAY better name than "Apple", ugh). I just don't have the balls to use it, myself.

I could give this name to a horse but never to a child.
