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

Thanks!

I know a little Domino. Her v cute nickname is Minnow. Like the fish.

pandafunfactory · 06/06/2020 00:01

Not a name

AnnaSW1 · 05/06/2020 23:56

Pizza

queenmother · 05/06/2020 23:44

I love it!

Ughmaybenot · 05/06/2020 21:10

Fuck that’s awful. Domino is just a daft name for a human, and Minnie is to a lot of people, as others have pointed out, a twee name for vulva.

LotusClover · 05/06/2020 21:01

Oh dear. I thought this thread was a joke... Blush

Do not saddle your poor child with the name Domino. It's hideous. If you like Minnie, just have that as the full name. Or you could use it as a nickname for Jessamine, Jasmine, Yasmine, etc. Anything but Domino!

I thought of the Keira Knightly film too

polkadotpixie · 05/06/2020 20:02

What about Dominique? I had a friend called that although she was normally known as Dom

My Mum always used to refer to female genitalia as a Minnie though which would put me off that as a nickname

I've met a girl called Domino, she'd be around 8 or 9, and I thought it was nice. Obviously I'm in the minority!

LunaNorth · 05/06/2020 19:32

Dominique?

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 05/06/2020 19:29

You've scored a double-blank with that....

Flappingflamingo · 05/06/2020 19:27

My first thought was an old keira knightly film which I think flopped, quickly followed by pizza

IndiaMay · 05/06/2020 17:33

I love Domino! It's a lovely name, wasnt there a model called Domino?

vodkaredbullgirl · 05/06/2020 10:50

Pizza comes to mind.

Orphlids · 05/06/2020 10:46

I rather like it! Years ago, I watched a documentary on the telly and there was a young lady in it named Memento, which I thought was wonderful. Has a similar feel, but without the pizza connection?

Minnie means fanny/vagina/vulva/vadge where I live.

MittensTheSerpent · 04/06/2020 23:18

I love it.

ODFOx · 04/06/2020 23:17

Erm, really, no. I know it's a Bond girl name but apart from that it's a game played by old men on a Monday night in Northern pubs for 2p a spot.
Consider Minerva or Monica for similar syllables that are actually names.
Consider 'Pass The Pigs' or 'Monopoly' for other names in the same vein

Peabodymixi · 04/06/2020 22:38

I actually really like it....it’s a blessed relief from Olivia, Ivy, Amelia and co.

Thisismytimetoshine · 04/06/2020 22:36

How can a name "really suit" someone? Do some people look like Dominos and others like Deirdres? Confused

Otterseatpuffinsdontthey · 04/06/2020 22:19

Am I the only person to have thought "Van Morrison"? Great song - not so good name for baby girl.
Do like Hermione.

TwigTheWonderKid · 04/06/2020 22:16

It, not I

BabyDust13 · 04/06/2020 22:16

Aw that's my hamster's 🐹 name

TwigTheWonderKid · 04/06/2020 22:15

I used to work with someone called Domino. I really suited her and I think it's a great name
