Not sure why this would be, but I feel like most of the time I see this spelling of the name, it's used by Italian Americans. Otherwise I see the spelling Dominic. I do actually prefer the Dominick spelling to the Dominic spelling.
My son is named Dominic as well. Personally, the k on the end appeared too hard for me, visually. And for whatever reason, I hear the name slightly different in my mind when spelled with the k. Ending his name with the c, for me, looks more fluid; and I feel like the name breathes better when spelled this way. Just a different perspective... Love the name either way. My son is now 14, and he says he likes his name ending in the c also.

I like this spelling more than Dominic. Also, Domino is a cool byname.

My son is also named Dominick. Yes that K at the end really does finish it. LOL I named my son after a character though. Vin Diesels character from Fast and Furious. We never call him Nick. We always call him Dom or Dommy. Sometimes Dominos! Lol Just thought that I would share that.

The main character in Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much is True" is named Domenico "Dominick". The book is a part of Oprah's book club, and a movie based on it is due out in 2008.

I love this name! As someone else stated, I prefer the K at the end as well. It does give that completeness to it.

This is my now 3 year old son's name. I like the 'k' at the end. It looks unfinished with just a 'c' at the end to me. I thought we would call him 'Nick' for short, but everyone has ended up calling him 'Dom' instead. I love this name.
