My dh has got his heart set on it but i am worried she may get picked on. it is Domino for a girl.
what do you think?

Wasn't there a film where the character called Domino was serial killer?

Put the argos catalogue down and buy a baby name book! Kidding, but seriously what about giving her a name that you could then call her a thing as a nickname, rather than her not having the choice, iykwim?

Magical? I swear some people on here must hate children.

Magical sounds more feminine.

Magic a boys name, surely?!

Magic?? Seriously??
Are you a basketball fan?
In true MN style, what about Elizabeth?

MissRepresentation · 22/06/2012 10:38

Magic? Oh dear. What is wrong with an actual name?

BuntyPenfold · 22/06/2012 10:22

I can see the charm of Magic, babies are such miracles :)

Thank yoou for your responces. I do not think anyone is being harsh. I have shown them to dh and he is retreating ever so slightly. He likes it so much because we were just looking through names and he saw this and thought... Love it. We like Magic now for a girl but again it may be too weird.

I know a Domina; her parents are considered cruel to have called her it.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 22/06/2012 09:33

My DD1 had a friend when she was in nursery named Domino - I like it but then I love unusual names Smile

milkymocha · 22/06/2012 09:32

I like it! Smile

Probably ploughing through baby name books.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/06/2012 08:59

Where is the OP? Confused

ParkbenchSociety · 22/06/2012 08:56

Blimey OP, I bet you wish you hadn't asked. Wink

Staceisace · 21/06/2012 23:45

That's awful. It is a name for a Dalmatian. What about Domenica as a compromise?

AllDirections · 21/06/2012 22:40

I like it

ParkbenchSociety · 21/06/2012 22:35

I'm voting Domenica or something similar with Domino as a nickname.

baskingseals · 21/06/2012 22:14
