Dominic

[hormonalmum]

Dh and I are discussing this name. We do not know the sex of this dc and it has been on our list each time.

Any thoughts?

If you like it, are there any other names we might like (boy and girls names)

I love the name and would use it if we had another boy.

Great name.

Gregory?

I know two brothers called Anthony and Dominic. Dominic is Dom for short. For girls; maybe Cosima, Lucia, Valentina or Monica.

I like the name Dominic, fairly traditional but also unusual. I approve.

Fab name.

Love it, my brother's name.

Really like it, it's my bf's nephew.
Normal, traditional, but never seems to be a lot of them which I like.

I love it, it works for a little boy and a man and Dom is a cool nn for a teenager. Perfect!

Was my dad's name. My DS1 has it as a 2nd name.

My dad's brothers were/are Daniel, Peter, Vincent, John & Michael. Do you like any of those?

I love it, wanted it for ds2, but dp didn't like it. was very annoyed.

Dominic is a great name. Go for it!

Great name, have always liked it.

It's a bterrible name, please don't pick it only joking - it's my DS's name. His friends all call him Dom - you have fab taste [smile. He is almost 20 and whilst it's not an uncommon name you don't get many of them.

Thought about Benedict or Sebastian for him, but Dominic was our favourite

For a girl - Madeline, Clara, Isobel, Juliet, Anna, Violet (Vi- o -let not Vi-let, Susanna, Matilda, Martha, Amelia,

Really like it. Not so keen on 'Dom' but suppose it's inevitable.

Seems that way - he is Dominic to me, but to the rest of the world he is Dom.

You could always use Nic as a nn if preferred?

I love this name. It is on my list but DH hates it. He hates most of my names Please use it because I probably can't

I love it, and it is my brother's name. It's served him well. Usually goes by Dom, which is cool and manly, I think. Or Dompers or Dozzle! Or when that Domestos ad was out, Big Bad Dom!

His siblings are Barnaby and me, Abigail.

Thanks for the replies. Some of the boys names that have been suggested are nice alternatives but cannot have them due to surname / family members. (Derv78 - all of yours in fact!!)

I am not overkeen on Dom as someone else mentioned but I guess we could always use Nick as a nn.
Glad to see we may pick something that is liked for both children and adults. Some names I just cannot see a 40 year old with.
It's so difficult!

AbFabT - Abigail we like this too! Watch this space...

Really like it. On our list for DC4 if another boy, along with Gregor.

I really like it. It was on my list.

DS1 is Dominic! I also have an Aidan and a Barnabas. I liked Benedict too but DH didn't. Dominic gets called Dom, Domi and Dombli.

hormonalmum, I will watch this thread! Make sure you update this one when your baby is born please!!!

tabbycat7, sounds like you have similar tastes to my mum then!

ILGH, is cutthroatbitch on your list for a girl?

Magaly, I'm confused, what do you mean?
