I've been thinking about this name lately. When I was a kid I kind of liked it because I thought it sounded edgy and cool. Then I went off it for awhile because it got towards the obnoxious end of "edgy and cool." But now I'm seeing it in a completely different light, and I think it has a very humble and venerational appeal to it.

I wanted to try pairing it with something else along those lines, like:
Dominic Alphonsus
Dominic Anselm
Dominic Julian
Dominic Angelus
Dominic Ignatius
Dominic Boniface
Dominic Benedictus
Dominic Franciscus
Dominic Columba (oh, I think we have a winner!)

---

But also I think it would go well with very proper, upstanding stuff like:
Dominic Ward
Dominic Albert
Dominic Cecil
Dominic Richard
Dominic Eugene
Dominic Basil
Dominic Ira
Dominic Cyril

---

Or maybe even more earthy things, like:
Dominic Ari
Dominic Rowan
Dominic Ezra
Dominic Finees
Dominic Rafe / Ralph
Dominic Evan

---

Or I don't know, I think it even works as dark and adventurous, like:
Dominic Vincent
Dominic Desmond
Dominic Valentine

---

WDYT? Other ideas?

(Then I also recently found out that my new nephew (due in November) is going to be named Dominic. I'm pretty sure the middle name will be Lee, after my SIL's father. Meh. But I was really happy to hear Dominic given they were otherwise going with Landon! And his big brother is named Elijah, in case you're curious.)
