What do you think of this name for a girl? Probably with the nn Minnie

Thanks!

Domino = pizza
Minnie = vagina

Give your poor dd a chance OP! She'll be ridiculed! Confused

GreyGardens88 · 06/06/2020 20:51

Even worse than that other poster who wanted to call their baby Pongo

Not sure why everyone is hating on this name so much, I think it's quite good!

Cute nns but a strong sound to the longer version. I like it.

Just wondering... Has this put you off op?

As long as you have no plans to ever move to Belgium. There is a quite famous song there about a girl called Domino by the band Clouseau.

I love this name. It was on my shortlist for DD!

There's a really cool character in a PC game from the 90s called Domino.

I hadn't even considered the pizza angle as we don't order from there Blush

How about these

Remember the child has to go to secondary school..... Whatever name that you think always remember this.

I don't like any of the Dom names. It's too dominating/dominant. I knew a very beautiful Dominique but even she hasn't made me love it. Domino for me is first pizza, second that film about the bail bond woman.

5LeafPenguin · 06/06/2020 18:33

I would go with Dominique rather than domino, especially if you are planning to use Minnie as a nn.

TimeWastingButFun · 06/06/2020 18:08

The whole school will all her Pizza...

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 06/06/2020 17:54

It's a game not a name. And also 🍕

SpookyNoise · 06/06/2020 17:45

No, please don’t do it.

missmouse101 · 06/06/2020 17:44

Domini is an actual name and is lovely. Domino is daft.

whatausername · 06/06/2020 17:40

Any time the kid trips in PE there'll be a cry of DOMINOOOOOOO. Hopefully it'll all be in good jest though. IA with your update OP, maybe not a real contender!

vodkaredbullgirl · 06/06/2020 17:38

namechange ive just ordered 1 lol

namechangeformeagain · 06/06/2020 16:57

I want some Dominoes pizza now...

Starbuggy · 06/06/2020 14:40

Only if you’re naming a pet

It’s not a human name at all

Dominique isn’t my taste but is much nicer and an actual name

emilybrontescorsett · 06/06/2020 10:34

Pizza

MrsSchadenfreude · 06/06/2020 08:04

I know a Dominie - that might avoid the pizza issues? Otherwise Dominique or Domenica.

WildCherryBlossom · 06/06/2020 07:52

I've known two people named Domino, one female and one male. Both born in the 70s to slightly hippy parents.

Also two Dominiques, one French, one Dutch.

I think Domenica is also a variant name,

The Minnie I know is short for Miranda.

AuntieStella · 06/06/2020 07:45

I thought Bond girl

I do actually like it, but think it is probably better left for fictional characters or stage names

Sunnydaysarecoming · 06/06/2020 07:40

I like Domino, Jemima Kirke’s sister is called Domino, she’s a singer, I think it’s a great name.

MrsEvil · 06/06/2020 07:37

Wasn't domino a character from Deadpool. She was super lucky?

ArriettyJones · 06/06/2020 07:35

Domino says pizza and that poor little rich mercenary who died young.

Minnie is slang for vagina in Kent and Sussex.

Figgygal · 06/06/2020 07:34

It’s terrible and Minnie isn’t even a derivative of it
Poor kid
