Dominik

[shelleylou]

I was just wondering what people think of Dominik. DP is having second thoughts due to the possibillity of Nik as a nickname after his db said it could be called that. If you dont like it can you think of any similar names? TIA

[SecretNutellaFix]

I prefer the spelling Dominic. Love the name. Not over-used at all.

I knew Dominics when I was younger- neither was known as Nic.

[wordsonapage]

The K is awful.

[saltyseadog]

Dominic yes, Dominik NOOOooooo.

[shelleylou]

secret thats 1 of the things we like about it. Want something a bit different without being too out there. I knew people would say about the spelling but that could change anyway. Just need to convince DP it is still a lovely name and we should go ahead with it

[shelleylou]

moondog i've never even heard of him lol

[moondog]

yOU HAVE NOW.
tHANK cHRIST I TOLD YOU EH?
hE WAS AN 80S-90S FIXTURE.
i TAKE IT YOU ARE VERY YOUNG?

[shelleylou]

Ye he looks a bit strange dont even recognise him a little. I wouldnt say very young, mid 20's so was around in both 80's and 90's lol

[moondog]

Young enough to have lived a life untainted by memories of DD.
Dominic is nice but drop the 'k' i implore you.

[faverolles]

Dominic - very nice. Dominik - not nice. Sorry.

[shelleylou]

TBH im not sold on the k. i know dp likes it hes got a thing with different spelings so cant try ltre his mind there. I cant complain about it too much as he's agreed to my choice of middle name with no arguement at all. Think he knows better on that one though lol

[shelleylou]

that should be so can try and alter his mind

[Bandwitch]

i love the name dominic

[Bandwitch]

Moondog, I was born in early 1970s and have never heard of that guy. He's not thta famous.

[shelleylou]

The speeling it out isn't really an issue to us, i have a common name and have to quite often DP is an unusual spelling of a common name he's grown up with it an doesn't see it at a problem at all far more of a difference than a k instead of ac IYSWIM.

[Kayzr]

Great name horrible spelling!!

[PippiLongBottom]

Dominic, yes. Quite under used.

Dominik, no. Looks ugly, clunky, and kre8tiv.

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Lose the K and it's a great name. With the K, as someone else said, it looks made up and kre8tiv.
Nic could be the NN still though. OTOH, I do know a couple of Dominics and they are called Dom.

[Kayzr]

Nic will never be a nickname for Dominic. OH is called Dom by everyone. Never would even think of using Nic

[hockeyforjockeys]

Dominik is the eastern european spelling, so if you have connections great, otherwise maybe just use the traditional british spelling.

[SloganLogan]

Dominic (with a c). Nickname Dom.

[shelleylou]

Dominik is an actual spelling not one dp and I have made up. Think we may well stick with the usual british spelling. The k spelling i was unsure of and DP is happy to use either one I know the usual nickname for it is Dom not one i can see myself using atm but might stick with me when i hear LO being refered to using it I do prefer Nic but i know nn isn't down to my preference lol. Pippi that is a large part of the appeal to me, being under used. DS has a more common name but the names work together. Thank you everyone for your opinions i really appreciate it.

[winnybella]

No, no, no.

Dominik is fine in Polish. Not in English. I'm Polish and even I can see that. It'll just seem odd and like you were trying hard to be different and dare I say it, a bit chavvy.
