It always reminds me of Dom Perignon, a trademark for champagne (real champagne from Champagne, France). The trademark is derived from the name of a benedictine monk who improved the production and quality of Champagne wine in an era when the region's wines were predominantly still red. Popular myths frequently, but erroneously, credit him with the invention of sparkling Champagne.In the case of Dom Perignon, Dom is not a given name but a title given to benedictine monks.
People! It's actually short for Dominic. A sort of famous (but nontheless rather sexy) bearer is trans-Atlantic oarsman and polar explorer extraordinaire (as well as former Royal Marine) Dom Mee - could you want more of a man ladies?
