It's okay. I get a bit of a macho vibe from Dominic, but that's not necessarily bad, and it's a classic.

Four brothers with four different fathers. Wow. That's kind of an accomplishment for Mom? hehI like Dominic and Brandon, neutral about Delon (not sure how to say it), and Timothy never appealed to me, I think I get "tin moth" from it.Dominic probably got the best name of the four IMO

Although I'm not a fan of Dominic (I have the same thing, that "dom" means "stupid" in my language), I prefer it over Delon and Timothy. Delon is just not my thing. I prefer just Tim over Timothy. Brandon is okay, just a bit dated to me, but since he's older already and named after his father I guess that makes sense.

Gosh. Does little Dominic share a dad with any of them?I like Dominic, though 'dom' = 'stupid' where I live, though with different pronunciation. But Nic(k) is an OK nn if one is needed.I like Timothy a lot. The only Tim I know, I really like, which helps.Brandon is awful: would-be film star meets gutter thug.The only Delon I've ever known was a funny, delightful kid. Good associations!

Dominic and Delon have the same dad. Timothy is 18 now, and Brandon is 20. She had Brandon in high school and gave him up for adoption, his name was changed to Shad.

Shad, eh? At last I've found a worse name than Brandon! Only because where I live, a shad is a very delicious ocean fish that appears off our coasts now and then, but far too seldom for me. Not a human name, though. Chad would have been more human.Adoption ... such a leap in the dark. Surely one must always feel - not regret of course, what high-school girl can deal with motherhood? But certainly nostalgia.

It was open, so she was able to keep in touch with her son. She had significant issues, and Timothy was stuck dealing with them. It was very good that she gave Shad up. She's now in a wonderful place with a wonderful guy.
