Thoughts on Dominic? Help me think of other names for our shortlist...

[Piccalily19]

So we’re due to have a little boy early next year and stuck on names for our shortlist, want a couple of options ideally.

Middle name is almost definitely going to be James and last name is two syllables beginning with P

Thoughts on Dominic as an option? I always thought it would be more popular than it is so worried there’s a reason for it’s decline!

And can you suggest any similar names for us to consider? Basically not a fan of anything too trendy and modern but also not a fan of really old style names- boy names are hard!!

Only other names I like are Charlie (already a child in the family with that name so no) and Oliver (too popular, already know about 3 babies called that so also a no)

I like the name Dominic, it was on our shortlist along with:

Christian
Nathan / Nathaniel
Anthony
Leon / Leo
Hayden / Aidan
Caleb
Joel
Jared
Justin
Marcus
Rowan
Zac / Zachary

I didn't immediately think of Cummings or Raab but now it's been mentioned... :-/

Funny how the name Dominic gets ruined by a political figures but Bible names like William, Mark, Peter , Joesph never does

It was top of our list for DD2 if she'd been a boy. Love the name.

Like you, couldn't really care less about politicians who nobody will give a shit about in about 3 years. Especially as it's not a name that is UNIQUELY associated with one particular person. It's a fairly standard name.

I love(d) the name Dominic - family name and was on my list 16 years ago but now...

Someone mentioned Lawrence as similar vibe - agree but also now being ruined by Fox.

I really like Gregory, I think that's similar. Anthony as well.

Definitely a 2020 name!

Domoinic is a lovely name, classic. I'd go for it.

I do like Dominic. Dom makes me think of bdsm though....
