I've loved
Dulcinea for years. It's so elegant sounding and the literary connection to "
Don Quixote" is right up my snobby alley.

Dulcie is adorable. Not only does it have the same spunky, old-fashioned quality as
Elsie and
Daisy, the meaning "dulcet" is right there in the sound of it. Think, "dulcet tones" when you say
Dulcie out loud.
I used to only like
Dulcie as a nn for
Dulcinea. But I admit
Dulcie has grown on me to such an extent that I've toyed with using it as is. Someone on these boards gave me my perfect combo for it:
Dulcie Angharad. Whimsical and romantic at the same time. *sigh*
Since you would be using it as a mn, I don't think
Dulcie needs anything more formal to be from. What fns would you be using with it, may I ask?
