is this name TOO unusual?

[mamaLou13]

My dh has got his heart set on it but i am worried she may get picked on. it is Domino for a girl.
what do you think?

I know a Dominique who gets called Minnie. I like Dominica best.

It's not a name either, unless maybe for a dog.
It'd be an excellent name for a Dalmatian bitch!

Chapping.

Sorry but it makes me think of the pizza chain too. I think Dominique is a nice name and Dom for short?

MamaLou13 your DH isn't Alex Reid perchance?

red ruby - lol!!! Didn't they do a song about that on Still Game??

...and btw OP, was he truly serious??? .......and you are having a baby with this man? It actually makes me think of an insult that you would give to someone rather than a name for a child - wouldn't even know if it's meant to be for a boy or a girl.

Domino is a bit silly but Domini or Dominique are proper names.

Domi-no

Domi-whywouldyoudothat?

isn't that 2nd declension dative or ablative for Master/Lord

So domino equates to "to, by, with or from the master"

a bit odd IMO.

No - Dominique if he must, though ...

A definite no!!

Dominique is ok and love Dominic for a boy but Domino, just no!!

Is your dh a pet shop boys fan by any chance OP?
I kind of like it in a way but as others have pointed out a bit open to mick-taking.

I used to work with a lovely Domino. She was named after the Bond girl. She also had a very posh surname which made her name stand out even more. It's not a name I would choose.

I was at school with a Domino - we thought it was unusual but not THAT weird, and she certainly never got bullied for it! And I'd have thought it would stand out far less these days when there are so many more names in circulation.

Domino was a Bond Girl, twice in fact.

Thurerball and Never Say Never Again, with Kim Basinger in the 80"s. Does you DH fancy Ms Basinger Real name in the books where either Dominetta or Dominique nn Domino.

Pizza.

Now there's a name.

My Mum had a friend called Domini - it never occurred to us that there was anything especially strange about her name.

My cat is called Domino.
