It's a variant spelling of Dulcie or Dulce, offering a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining the same melodic quality. This name evokes a sense of gentleness and charm, with its soft sounds and positive connotations. Dulcey has never been among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, remaining relatively rare and therefore distinctive.
