Dominic or Dominick?
Which do you prefer? I think I'm leaning toward Dominic. And would you rather see nn Nick/Nicky used for Dominic/Dominick or for Nicholas/Nickolas/etc?

I like it with the K, but I might not use that because it'd be misspelled often. Nick for Dominic(k) is more artificial than for Nicholas, but it beats Dom. Besides, I like Nick, and Nicholas is overexposed in my experience.

Dominic!Nic/Nick is okay for both. Nicky is for Nicholas.

Dominic for meThough I can definitely see the use of Nick (not Nic) as a nn. I love Nick, yet don't care for Nicholas at all (Scarlett says I'm a "weirdie").As far as the whole K thing goes, appropo of nothing, I do know of one sibset of three brothers; their parents did a neat thing (I think) with their names: Erik, Dominik and Nikolas (no Cs in any of them). They all have that K element in common, but they didn't use names that all start with K. This is the sort of creative naming I can appreciate, even if I think the spellings strain credulity a tad.

Dominic looks so much better to me. I think Nick/Nicky fits better as a nn for Nicholas/Nickolas.

Dominic without a doubtAlso, I really dislike the nn Nick / Nicky. I would prefer to see Dominic and Nicholas used in their full form. However, if the nn is a must, I would have to say Dominic, because Nick is a different nn than expected (most would expect Dom or something of that sort). But if you are one that doesnt like conflicts with a name (always saying "my name is Nick, short for Dominic, not Nicholas"), I'd go with Nicholas. I love both names, and in general, I'd like to hear more Dominic's out there (but I'd also love to hear more Nicholas' using their full name)

DominicI perfer Nick as a nn for Nicholas, but wouldn't mind Nic as a nn for Dominic (and add a k to the end if you spell it that way.) I dislike Nicky no matter what.

Dominic for me.The K at the end just kind of seems unnecessary. Though a bit less than Dominic I also like Dominik; I'm just not big on the combination CK at the end. I'd much rather see Nicky or Nick as a short form of Nicholas and no nickname at all for Dominic. I think it's best on its own.

I prefer Dominic. I think that Nick or Nicky is better on Nicholas/Nickolas. I think that the best nickname for Dominic is Dom.
