[Opinions] Dulcie/Dulce/Dulcibella
I don’t know why, but I have been stuck on these names lately. Do you think Dulcibella is usable in real life? I know Dulce has some popularity but would it work for a non-Spanish speaker?

Dulcibella sounds like the name of an exceptionally pretty cow with long eyelashes. How about Dulcinea?
Dulcibella could bring on a diabetic coma. Dulcie is almost as sickly sweet, but at least it was popular once and might, if we're lucky, stay in the past as a dated name. And Dulce (no idea how they pronounce it) is the name of a chain of coffee-and-icecream shops where I live. Nice food, I admit!
I like all of these.i like Dulcinea too, but only as guilty pleasures. I’d never use them in real life.
I like Dulcie, but as a nn for Dulcinea. Dulcibella is so similar, but somehow it seems like a lot more to carry around.
