Pros:
Cons:
Overall I think [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is a good choice, great meaning and internationally used easy to translate. I honestly donāt think you can go wrong with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] but itās not a favourite.
Thank you for your thoughtful analysis. All your points echo exactly how I feel about it! Although my partner really likes it. Funnily enough he is a D@niel also.
I love this name, so I might be biased, but here we go!
Pros
Cons
I love the name [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], though Iām not ever going to use it.
xx - [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] ā[name_f]Aleksa[/name_f]ā Y.
@anon25197097 glad I could help all I can say is great minds think alike I definitely prefer [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] to [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] predominantly because I really like the nickname [name_u]Danny[/name_u]!
Dominic is classic but underused. I quite like it
Thatās what my partner gets a lot of the time
Pros:
ā¢Variety of nicknames: [name_m]Dom[/name_m], [name_u]Domino[/name_u], [name_u]Nick[/name_u], [name_u]Nicky[/name_u], [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
ā¢great meaning- ābelonging to the [name_m]Lord[/name_m]ā
ā¢great history- Latin, saint name
ā¢fast and furious character (if you like that movie)
ā¢masculine and mature-sounding
Possible Cons
ā¢#85 on U.S. list (depending on your feelings about popular names)
ā¢Sounds like the country, the Dominican Republic, which isnāt a necessarily a bad thing, it could just be an association for some people
ā¢the first syllable ādomā isnāt a pleasant sound for me. It sort of reminds me of the word ādumbā
Alas, as a teacher, Iāve taught quite a few Dominics and I could not abide any of them. All quite dominating, pushy males, so much so that I now associate the nn [name_m]Dom[/name_m] with domination.
But that is probably just my bad luck and I am sure there are scads of very nice Dominics out there too (just not near me so far!).
I do like beyond the [name_m]Dom[/name_m] nn which I dislike, there is [name_u]Nic[/name_u] or [name_u]Nick[/name_u] or [name_u]Nico[/name_u] as nns. Of course if I wanted a [name_u]Nick[/name_u], Iād name him [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] or [name_m]Nikostratos[/name_m] or [name_m]Nickleby[/name_m], all of which I love.
I donāt think thereās anything wrong with the name for others, but I do associate it with arrogance personally.
I adore [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]! Itās on my list. I think itās full of personality and charm, and I like that it suits both a baby and an adult.
I like [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]! Itās handsome, classic, versatile, good nicknames, sturdy and everymannish but also a little pizzazz.
I love [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]! Itās such a cool and underused classic. The only con for me is that Iām not in love with the potential nicknames, but I wouldnāt say I dislike them, and they certainly donāt take the name off the table for me.
I think itās fantastic and way underused. I guess it was a lot more popular 30-40 years ago? Funny story⦠I know half-brothers both named D0minic. The second wife must have liked the name so much that she was willing to be that awkward!
My mom loves this and was trying to convince me to use it. [name_f]My[/name_f] problem with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is that I cant picture it for a baby or child. It seems like an adult name to me. I actually donāt mind the nicknames [name_m]Dom[/name_m] or [name_u]Nick[/name_u] - although [name_u]Nick[/name_u] seems too popular. It didnāt feel right for me personally but theres nothing wrong with the name.
I love it. An under-used classic for me. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Nic[/name_u], [name_u]Nicky[/name_u] and [name_u]Nico[/name_u] as nicknames.
I see no significant cons with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]. An underused classic, traditionally given to babies born on [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], multiple nickname options, works well with a longer surname.
I really like [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]. Itās a strong, timeless, international name imo. I would use [name_u]Nico[/name_u] as a nickname.
I like it!
I think [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is very handsome and timeless- the only cons I can think of are connotations and sound alike for the word.
I like [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]. Itās classic and masculine, without sounding overly common/popular. [name_m]Damian[/name_m] has a similar vibe.
Iām not really keen on the nickname [name_m]Dom[/name_m] (it has some awkward connotations ) but itās not a huge issue for me.
