Dominic?

[Gigi97]

Thoughts on this name for a baby boy? What do you think of when you hear the name Dominic?

I see ‘Dominic’ and I think ‘Cummings’ .. totally ruined for me.

But I work in medialand so perhaps if not so exposed to the news you may escape this!

It seems like a very popular name now, There are about 5 boys in the village school here with this name.. and several adult men in the village too, probably the Fathers of the boys, who gave their sons the same name as themselves.

I like Dominic but really dislike Dom. I know a Dom and when he says his name, to my ears it always sounds like someone with a cold saying Tom.

I had a schoolmate called this, and he used to get called Condominic - that's all I think of when I hear this name!

I have known 3 adults with this name, all of them have been lovely. I worked with a Dominic, and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Lovey name.

Love it.

The ones I know are Dom.

Love it

Cummings, sadly!

I used to like it, and then realised I'd genuinely never met a nice one, so it put me off and now I think of it as a sinister nasty man name!

It's definitely not a cheerful jolly name at all. A slight Damien vibe maybe? - they're a bit close.

Tominic, Tom for short

I like it

I’ve always liked Dominic. It’s a proper meme.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Italian Christmas Donkey! As that's what plays in my head when someone says Dominic

We have a little Dominic in our family, he never gets Dom or Nic for short but he does sometimes get Dominic the Donkey!!!

My DS is Dominic and he's 15 now, often Dom to his friends.

Mr Cummings has rather besmirched the name of late...
