Just that really. Middle name either way would be Joseph. Any particular preference and why?

Daniel Joseph
Dominic Joseph

Thanks,
R.

I think Dominic is really sweet, less common than Daniel and I love the nn Dom!

Both are lovely with Joseph though. ✨💛

Daniel. Dominic sounds too saintly.

@Libertyy We’re a white Irish Catholic family and I think Dominic would be seen as quite a Roman Catholic name so not unusual per se, although that being said I don’t know any Dominics under 20.

My Dominic is under 20! Mind you We aren't Catholic or eastern European.

My neighbour is called Dominik. He is eastern european. Not sure if he's a catholic.

Both are great names.

I like both, but prefer Dominic.

Dominic is so classy.

Daniel is beige.

I have a cousin called Dominic. His nn was Nic as a child but seems to be Dom now 🤷🏻‍♀️

I prefer Dominic. Daniel is OK, though.
