Can I call Our baby Denzel if it's a boy? He is adamant he will be called Dominic if a boy but hold on I think Denzel has a better ring to it?
He wouldn't let me have Alan so this is my compromise Grin

I prefer Dominic

Teddybear45 · 14/07/2019 00:47

They’re both fairly old fashioned now. Denzel reminds me of the Only Fools and Horses character rather than the actor.

No.

I'd assume you had a long standing crush on Denzel Washington (understandable) as I've never heard of it elsewhere. Dominic seems more classic.

I have a long line of ancestors called Denzel in Cornwall so assume it's a name particular to there. I prefer Dominic though.

FizzBuzzBangWoof · 14/07/2019 03:44

I actually quite like Denzel

I can't imagine a Denzel without plenty of character and humour

Dominic is dull in comparison

joystir59 · 14/07/2019 05:03

Denis is better imo

Love Dominic. Not Denzel, sorry!

PineappleSeahorse · 14/07/2019 09:11

Dominic is much nicer. Denzel is awful.

mollpop · 14/07/2019 13:47

Sorry, but I think Denzel is just dreadful

BarryBarryTaylor · 14/07/2019 15:37

Not a fan of denzel the sound is very harsh. I do really like Dashiel though, nn Dash?

countryroadstakemeh0me · 14/07/2019 15:40

Denzel Washington, Denzel Curry, Denzel Ward, I could go on, I personally like the name Smile

anitagreen · 14/07/2019 16:07

Oh I love it I've accepted now it won't be Denzel but it's so cute Grin

Dominic is much nicer.

I know a little Alan, it suits him. You need to work on your DH Grin

BarryBarryTaylor · 14/07/2019 18:55

Dominic is really drab

See I love names like Alan terry etc but he doesn't at all he thinks it's stupid but they are lovely names it's not like I've picked Rodney is it??. I think it will be Dominic though it's just such a boring name Sad
