I have come up with a shortlist of 3 for my immune arrival so, out of the 3, which would you choose :)?

Dominic
Gregory
Oliver.

Deffo Dominic

TantrumsAndBalloons · 13/02/2019 16:28

I have a Dominic so I am biased Smile but I love the name

He is at 15 inevitably known as Dom to everyone though

oreoxoreo · 13/02/2019 16:21

I have a Dominic so I am bias. Really love that's not overly popular.
So don't you dare to use Dominic :) (only joking)

CockleburIck · 07/02/2019 00:52

Dominic.

(Though I may be biased 🙂)

starkid · 06/02/2019 16:40

Dominic! :) good luck

Mississippilessly · 06/02/2019 16:21

We have a baby Gregory. I love it.

BBInGinDrinking · 06/02/2019 16:16

Definitely Dominic.

Second choice would be Gregor, not Gregory.

Not keen on Oliver, not least because there are so many Oliver/Olivias.

Good luck, OP. Smile

Nowt wrong with a Greggs @confusedandcrazymother

Not a fan of any tbh but if I had to pick I'd probably choose Oliver

sue51 · 06/02/2019 16:05

I like all three.

KarineAimee · 06/02/2019 16:02

Gregory! It was on my shortlist before we found out that I’m having a girl. (Along with Marcus and Dylan, in case you need any more ideas!)

What good nicknames can you get from Oliver other than Olly..Confused?

RumerGodden · 06/02/2019 00:49

Dominic is very catholic. Gregory can be a bit difficult...
Oliver is horribly popular...for a good reason..it's a good name, good nickname possibilities...

but go with what you like....just do it.

moredoll · 06/02/2019 00:46

Dominic is lovely.
Prefer Gregor to Gregory.
Oliver is fine but maybe overused.

POP7777777 · 06/02/2019 00:43

Dominic

Didyeeaye · 06/02/2019 00:40

Gregory is my favourite on your list. It's cool and a bit different but would suit a man as well as a kid. Plus I loved the film Gregory's girl lol

HPLikecraft · 06/02/2019 00:21

Dominic is a great name, I like the old latiny ness of it.

Gregory is great, reminds me of Rasputin.

Oliver is dull and overused

ABitOTT · 05/02/2019 22:55

Oliver - don't care how popular it is, I have always loved this name & always will.
Dominic - it is ok. Haven't heard of any baby boys with this name, but I know quite a few Dominics who are 40+ & privately educated.
Gregory - I know of two adult Gregorys. One is in prison & one is my DD's ex boyfriend who was a lazy, selfish git & I'm glad the relationship ended. Weirdly I quite like the name, just not the Gregs I have met!

Sockthief22 · 05/02/2019 21:25

My best friend is a Gregory and I think the world of him :)

Don't like Dominic. Just don't like the sound of it.. and then they get 'Dom' which... well yeh.

Oliver-overused IMO.

ZebraKid71 · 05/02/2019 21:25

I love Dominic! Unfortunately my dh doesn't 😭

SwedishEdith · 05/02/2019 21:03

I love Gregory but Greg Wallace has just popped into my head. Still love it.

Love Dominic as well but wouldn't want it shortened. Could get Nic/k out of it.

Oliver is nice but too popular.

jessstan2 · 05/02/2019 20:25

I love all three names.
Haven't heard of many Gregories recently but it is an excellent name and 'Greg' sounds cool, so I'd probably choose Gregory.

sidonie1 · 05/02/2019 20:19

Love Gregory
