Thanks!

I rather like it! Years ago, I watched a documentary on the telly and there was a young lady in it named Memento, which I thought was wonderful. Has a similar feel, but without the pizza connection?

vodkaredbullgirl · 05/06/2020 10:50

Pizza comes to mind.

I love Domino! It's a lovely name, wasnt there a model called Domino?

Flappingflamingo · 05/06/2020 19:27

My first thought was an old keira knightly film which I think flopped, quickly followed by pizza

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 05/06/2020 19:29

You've scored a double-blank with that....

Dominique?

bluebunnyblue · 05/06/2020 19:35

I've met a girl called Domino, she'd be around 8 or 9, and I thought it was nice. Obviously I'm in the minority!

polkadotpixie · 05/06/2020 20:02

What about Dominique? I had a friend called that although she was normally known as Dom

My Mum always used to refer to female genitalia as a Minnie though which would put me off that as a nickname

GemmeFatale · 05/06/2020 20:58

I thought of the Keira Knightly film too

LotusClover · 05/06/2020 21:01

Oh dear. I thought this thread was a joke... Blush

Do not saddle your poor child with the name Domino. It's hideous. If you like Minnie, just have that as the full name. Or you could use it as a nickname for Jessamine, Jasmine, Yasmine, etc. Anything but Domino!

Ughmaybenot · 05/06/2020 21:10

Fuck that’s awful. Domino is just a daft name for a human, and Minnie is to a lot of people, as others have pointed out, a twee name for vulva.

queenmother · 05/06/2020 23:44

I love it!

AnnaSW1 · 05/06/2020 23:56

Pizza

pandafunfactory · 06/06/2020 00:01

Not a name

AncientandPregnant · 06/06/2020 07:32

I know a little Domino. Her v cute nickname is Minnow. Like the fish.

Figgygal · 06/06/2020 07:34

It’s terrible and Minnie isn’t even a derivative of it
Poor kid

ArriettyJones · 06/06/2020 07:35

Domino says pizza and that poor little rich mercenary who died young.

Minnie is slang for vagina in Kent and Sussex.

MrsEvil · 06/06/2020 07:37

Wasn't domino a character from Deadpool. She was super lucky?

Sunnydaysarecoming · 06/06/2020 07:40

I like Domino, Jemima Kirke’s sister is called Domino, she’s a singer, I think it’s a great name.

AuntieStella · 06/06/2020 07:45

I thought Bond girl

I do actually like it, but think it is probably better left for fictional characters or stage names

WildCherryBlossom · 06/06/2020 07:52

I've known two people named Domino, one female and one male. Both born in the 70s to slightly hippy parents.

Also two Dominiques, one French, one Dutch.

I think Domenica is also a variant name,

The Minnie I know is short for Miranda.

MrsSchadenfreude · 06/06/2020 08:04

I know a Dominie - that might avoid the pizza issues? Otherwise Dominique or Domenica.

emilybrontescorsett · 06/06/2020 10:34

Pizza

Starbuggy · 06/06/2020 14:40

Only if you’re naming a pet

It’s not a human name at all

Dominique isn’t my taste but is much nicer and an actual name

namechangeformeagain · 06/06/2020 16:57

I want some Dominoes pizza now...
