A famous Dominic is St Dominic de Savio, the youngest male saint at age 15 at his death. He is the patron saint of boys choirs, children, and the falsely accused.
I HATED this name until I read "Dark Waters" in which Dominic is an adorable, hyper little boy. That totally changed my opinion for some reason, and now it's a favorite!
I named my first son Dominic. I thought I would call him Nic, but Dominic suits him more. He is gifted and kind and a very strong, handsome young man. It is a great name!
This name is manly, intelligent, exotic-sounding and downright seductive, here are some sexy bearers: actors Dominic Purcell (Prison Break) and Dominic Monaghan (Lost and Lord Of The Rings) jazz guitarist Dominic Miller, former cricketer Dominic Cork, footballer Dominic Matteo and if you're still hungry for more ladies there's trans-Atlantic oarsman and polar explorer Dominic Mee.

Mmm, an impressive list, and another dishy Dominic who's just emerged is one member of new modern classical quartet Blake - Dominic Tighe. For a funny man, comedian Dom Jollie's pretty cute too.

What about comsumer programme presenter Dominic Littlewood? I know he's bald but they do say that makes a man more virile!

Doma - feminine form of "Dom", the short form of "Dominic", meaning "of the Lord". Meanings in well-known languages- Italian, Portugese: "It tames" Spanish: "Taming" Russian: Adresses/Houses.
I just love the name Dominic! It probably has something to do with Muse. But I just love the nickname Dom, it's sort of uncommon (I only "know" one Dominic), and it's just one of my favorite boys names.
Dominic Palmieri AKA Cullen Crisp, Jr. is the name of a main character in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Kindergarten Cop played by twins Joseph and Christian Cousins.
I'm not a fan of the nickname Dom, but I find Dominic a very handsome name. And luckily (hopefully) no girls will adopt it in the future because there's always Dominique for them. Hopefully...
My name is Dominique and I also get called Dom as a nickname, but always hate it when I run into a mate called Dominic and everyone is calling out Dom, Dom, and I get all confused.

I hate this name. It sounds like an evil name; I don't care what it means. It always makes me think of the devil.
