| Isn't Dominique the feminine form for Dominic?

| I had a cousin named Dominique (a boy)...so, I don't think Dominque
is the feminine for Dominic.....

| The French seem to use Dominique as a boys name but it has certainly
been use for girls in the USA. (Perhaps influenced by the movie, 'The
Singing Nun".) I have also seen Dominica (accent on the second
sylable) used as a feminine form. Neither one is very common.

| From a French mother tongue noter :
In French, Dominique is used both for a girl and a boy. I do not know
the spelling Dominic.

Hi, in German the form most often used for "Dominic" is "Dominik"
with a "k" instead of a "c". My son's name is Dominic but most people
here spell him Dominik even if they've seen the correct spelling for
his name.
I don't think you could chose to name a baby "Dominique" over here
without adding a second name which makes the sex of the baby absolutely
clear. There are rules, you know...

| 576.7 | It's common in Germany in the 90s | MUNLEG::WALTER | Getting organized... | Fri Jan 18 1991 04:05 | 5 |

Too add to the statement of .0 that the name is less common than
it was in the 20s to 40s: In Germany the name in its spelling with
a "k" in the end is currently quite common.
