Thoughts on this name for a baby boy? What do you think of when you hear the name Dominic?

Dominique sounds so much nicer but if you're not french...

This is a name I’ve always hated, hate the Dom sound

It just makes me think of Dominic Cummings. But that should pass in time.

emmathedilemma · 07/01/2022 12:59

ooh no, dated and not in a trendy way!

Paris14eme · 07/01/2022 12:28

Love Gabriel too btw!

I really like it. I've only ever known lovely Dominics. I think it's quite a Catholic name, IME.

Paris14eme · 07/01/2022 12:27

Love that name!

I really like it but DD always complained about a Dominic at her nursery so that puts me off!

It makes me think of my very lovely DS1. And he's never called Dom.

toastofthetown · 07/01/2022 12:08

It's fine. Not exactly thrilling, but not objectively bad either. Brings to mind a boy at school who pushed me off a slide, but that's a rather niche reference.

I like it!

Prefer Dom to Nic as a nickname but would try to stick with the just Dominic.

blitzen · 07/01/2022 11:55

Really like it!

interest12 · 07/01/2022 11:54

I like it, or Dominico.
Nn Nic or Nico

Oneearringlost · 07/01/2022 10:47

Lovely, I really like it.
It strikes me as a strong name. I also like Julius, Gabriel, Louis
My nephew is Dominic, has never become Dom.

CMhater · 07/01/2022 10:45

It's not to my taste.
I think 'Dom' is awful.

Purplecatshopaholic · 07/01/2022 10:44

I like it. Assume you don’t mind them being called Dom for short. Or maybe Nick/Nicky
