Just that really. Dominic or Daniel?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Dominic! much nicer name and there are baby Daniels all over the place at the moment.

ChippyMinton · 07/05/2013 16:20

Dominic. DH vetoed it here
Daniel lovely but vair popular

Bowlersarm · 07/05/2013 16:22

Prefer Daniel but Dominic is rarer.

Daniel. I think Dominic is rather 80s and dated. It also makes me think of the poor quality pizza chain.

Daniel is lovely and Dan and Danny are much nicer nns than Dom or Nic.

Daniel. It's a good classic name which doesn't seem to date.

I find Dominic a bit wet.

HighJinx · 07/05/2013 18:28

Daniel. But I live in The Netherlands where Dom means stupid.

DontmindifIdo · 07/05/2013 18:29

Daniel.

Daniel

Dominic. Nickname Dom, very cool. Daniel is also nice, but Dominic has the edge for me.

QuantitativePleasing · 07/05/2013 20:22

Daniel

squoosh · 07/05/2013 20:30

Dominic.

Dan is nice but the -iel bit ruins it for me.

katkoala · 07/05/2013 20:42

Dominic

Littlecherublegs · 07/05/2013 21:18

Ooh, this is a close call!!
Both were on our shortlist.

I think Dominic just wins it for me!
