Domenico
Valentino Dominic was my grandfather's name, and I like the idea of using Domenico Valentino in honor of him (and of my dad, also named Valentino). What do you think of Domenico? Does it sound/seem overbearingly masculine?Some other combos:Domenico Arthur
Domenico Leo (my dad's middle name)
Domenico Silas
Domenico Rufus
Domenico Rupert
Domenico Anselm
Domenico Laurence
Domenico Felix
Domenico Ira
Domenico Aubrey
Domenico Vivian
Domenico Linus
Domenico Sylvan
Domenico Roger

It's very masculine for sure, but not in a clownish, Tripp/Dagger/Ryder sort of way. It's *very* Italian, and so I think it feels silly with those hyper-British middle names like Vivian or Aubrey. It needs another Italian name to complement it. Or else a very plain, generic English name.
And I hope his last name wouldn't be something like McGee or Johnson.
I prefer Dominic; there are virtually no Spanish names in use where I live, so I suppose I'm just being conservative. Dominic Valentino Leo would please me!
I prefer Dominic, Dominic Leo is good
It doesn't sound overbearingly masculine in an unpleasant way. It's got that "suave Latin lover" thing going for it, which is a kind of gentle masculinity (in my opinion). I know a lot of people see these names as dripping with machismo but I always found them lyrical and beautiful.Domenico Valentino has romance in spades! It's very musical. I like it a lot.Domenico Leo is also great, I love that one too.Domenico Vivian is amazing as well.
