Dutchess was the common spelling, prior to the late 1800's, which may explain why it's still used from time to time. Shakespeare spelled it "Dutchesse." Dutchess, also refers to various towns/cities. So, in various context Dutchess, Duchesse, Dutchesse etc. may all be correct
Perhaps someone here has a thing for Fergie? Or Shakespeare? Or both? 
Regardless, I don't pride myself on spelling. Especially while typing quick replies in heated conversations. I do take to correcting people who like to correct me, however.
The fewer letters the better I say, Duchess it is!
