I love Dominic, but the rest I don't like.
Dominic has been one of my favorite masculine names for... well, ever. I can't even explain why I like it so much, I just do. But I consider the "C" spelling superior to all others - and, oddly enough, it's the only one I haven't encountered in real life! I've met one Dominik, from Germany (where that's the default spelling), and the handful of Americans with the name I've known were all spelled Dominick, which is my least favorite spelling because it reminds me of a defunct grocery store chain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominick%27s).
Dominique is the epitome of cool, but I only enjoy it as a feminine name. I know it's unisex in French, but I have trouble picturing men with this name.
I've never liked Dominica, though. There was a lunch lady at my grade school named this, who was either first-generation or an Italian immigrant herself. She was nice enough, but to my ears the name Dominica has always seemed overly formal and cold.
Edit: I'm assuming Dominca and Domique were typos for Dominica and Dominique.

I like Dominic in a vague kind of way. I'd never use or consider it, but it's OK. Dominca is straight out of an Italian cooking class. Do minca da beef and adda da onion. Domique has the middle missing, and the result is almost comique.
I think Dominic and Dominica are fine names. I don't care for Domique or Dominique.
