Comments for the name Dominique

Dominique is the name of the head of a clan of vampire hunters in Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' novel, SHATTERED MIRROR.

Famous bearer is Dominique Sanda, a French actress.

I have always thought of this as a girl's name.

I personally do not like this name. I knew a Dominique who I did not like. The name doesn't seem to fit for most people.

If you read 'Devil's Cub' by Georgette Heyer the lead guy's name is Dominique. He makes the name very masculine and devious.

Dominique Francon is a character in the Fountainhead. Made me love this name.

US female gymnasts Dominique Dawes and Dominique Moceanu.

I think it is weird for a boy to have this name (although the only Dominique I've met was a boy), but it's a very pretty name for a girl. It's better than names like Monique and Veronique.

I think Dominique is a feminine name, it should really only be given to girls. (And I'm not just saying that cause it just happens to be my name. Honest!)

Hmmm. Tell that to the entire French speaking world!

I agree - this name should be girls only! Boys should stick to Dominic. I think this name flows well, and isn't too common, which is a good thing.

Actor Cary Elwes and his wife, photographer Lisa Marie named their daughter Dominique.

Dominique Weasley, the second child of Fleur and Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter books. She isn't seen in the books at all, but JK Rowling's recently-released Weasley family tree shows Victoire, Dominique and their brother Louis.

It is a very nice name on a male, but absolutely hideous on a female.

I always thought that this was a girl's name, though I did meet a male Dominique once. I guess it sounds good for either gender, though I find Dominic better for boys.

This always makes me think of that hot Dominique from 007 Nightfire.

The "que" makes it look very feminine, like in Monique or Angelique. I would personally not name a boy with this.

Although I've known boys named Dominique, I think this is strictly a feminine name. And I think it is beautiful, except that I cannot get past that horrible ANTM association. I'm glad I don't watch that show anymore, all it does is ruin pretty names.

I love this name! It's so unique and pretty. I see this more on a girl than a boy, but it's a very common for both girls and boys in France. An adorable nickname for Dominique is Domi.

I've only met two Dominiques, both guys. Neither were / are in the slightest bit feminine. Love this name for a boy, find it horrid for a girl.
