Down to two names. Will likely wait until we see him to make the final decision but interested to do a bit of a poll.
Also if you have a son with either name, what is his middle name and what does he most commonly go by day to day (nicknames)
Thanks!

I have a Dominic. His middle names are Ronald Thomas, after 2 of his great grandads

Hes known as Dominic mainly.
Sometimes pickle, pudding, baby boy (hes not a baby hes 18), Nicky pickles. Dominicky. Dominicky Noodles.

Never Dom. He hates it and corrects people if they say it.

Dominic! A lovely name and quite unusual at the moment.

Lucas and its variants have been popular for years so there will be a lot of them around.

I prefer Lucas. Dominic is OK apart from it gets shortened to Dom, and Dominics Rab and Cummings.
Luke is nicer than Lucas.

Thanks! Looks like Lucas is more currently popular and Dominic is more underused classic which I know. Am still curious about the shortenings used by people who have Dominic's or Lucas's.

I know 2 Lucases and one Lukas. They are all known by their full name. It's only 2 syllables and so easy to say!

Dominic will probably become Dom.

I like both Dominic and Lucas. I always envision a Dominic to be blonde and blue eyed and a Lucas to be the opposite. No idea why but what he's like when he's born would be when I would wait to choose.

Lucas because then he can be Luke (and Luke Skywalker obv)
Dominic will become Dom. Which is not Star Wars.
