Thoughts on Dominic? Help me think of other names for our shortlist...

So we’re due to have a little boy early next year and stuck on names for our shortlist, want a couple of options ideally.

Middle name is almost definitely going to be James and last name is two syllables beginning with P

Thoughts on Dominic as an option? I always thought it would be more popular than it is so worried there’s a reason for it’s decline!

And can you suggest any similar names for us to consider? Basically not a fan of anything too trendy and modern but also not a fan of really old style names- boy names are hard!!

Only other names I like are Charlie (already a child in the family with that name so no) and Oliver (too popular, already know about 3 babies called that so also a no)

Benedict has a similar feel to Dominic for me.

I really like it, HOWEVER I can only think of Dominic Cummings right now so I took it off my list.

Dominic is OK. How about Adam?

Yikes, you can't name a baby Dominic now!

Be prepared for some funny looks from hospital staff if you tell them you're naming him Dominic.

Also be prepared for the baby to take the scenic route on his way out.
