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?

As in Domino Harvey, bounty hunter - Kiera knightly film of a few years go, the real woman died in her bath the same year.

Quite nice name in a way but no.

I've heard worse. A lot worse.

I knew of a Dalmatian called Domino.
Fabulous name for a dog

Figgygal · 21/06/2012 22:11

I like it Grin

baskingseals · 21/06/2012 22:14

i like it too

ParkbenchSociety · 21/06/2012 22:35

I'm voting Domenica or something similar with Domino as a nickname.

AllDirections · 21/06/2012 22:40

I like it

Springforward · 21/06/2012 22:47

That's awful. It is a name for a Dalmatian. What about Domenica as a compromise?

Just don't! Dominique if he really must. Why does he like it so much?!

mumnosbest · 21/06/2012 23:50

Blimey OP, I bet you wish you hadn't asked. Wink

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/06/2012 08:59

Where is the OP? Confused

Frontpaw · 22/06/2012 09:07

Probably ploughing through baby name books.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/06/2012 09:17

OP, I know it hurts now but in the long run wedding you a massive favour. Wink

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/06/2012 09:18

Wedding?! We did 'twas supposed to be.

milkymocha · 22/06/2012 09:32

I like it! Smile

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 22/06/2012 09:33

My DD1 had a friend when she was in nursery named Domino - I like it but then I love unusual names Smile

BuntyPenfold · 22/06/2012 10:08

I know a Domina; her parents are considered cruel to have called her it.

mamaLou13 · 22/06/2012 10:15

Thank yoou for your responces. I do not think anyone is being harsh. I have shown them to dh and he is retreating ever so slightly. He likes it so much because we were just looking through names and he saw this and thought... Love it. We like Magic now for a girl but again it may be too weird.

I can see the charm of Magic, babies are such miracles :)

MissRepresentation · 22/06/2012 10:38

Magic? Oh dear. What is wrong with an actual name?

TheonlyWayisGerard · 22/06/2012 10:38

Magic?? Seriously??
Are you a basketball fan?
In true MN style, what about Elizabeth?

Frontpaw · 22/06/2012 10:48

Magic a boys name, surely?!

BuntyPenfold · 22/06/2012 10:51

Magical sounds more feminine.
