NFT: Poll boy baby name

EdS56 : 8/7/2018 8:49 pm
Evening all,

My wife and I will be adopting an infant boy hopefully if all goes well in October. We are split between two names.
They are:

Joseph Dominick (wife's father and my grandfather respectively)

or

Dominick Joseph

Because my wife and I believe that those on here have great taste and intelligence (Giants for example), we were looking to see what were your thoughts.

Thanks and cheers! BTW, been watching videos of Barkley in practice... he looks fantastic, imho!!

Good luck with the adoption.
Dominick Joseph

Also Ed, just wanted to say good luck and congratulations to you. Adoption is a special thing.

All the best to you and the new addition to your family.
Great news, and congratulations to you, and your wife!

While the initials, and potential nickname of J.D. is great, I think Dominick Joseph sounds a little better.
Thanks all so far  
EdS56 : 8/7/2018 9:09 pm : link
I am in the Dominick Joseph camp.. but my wife likes Joey D! But then she caved in a bit... we'll see. This poll actually was her idea. She said to ask the Giants board, cause they are great in advice!
Congratulations!

I think it depends how it would flow with the last name, and I'm sure you don't want to post that on here. Either way, both are solid choices. Good luck!
OK, no no no, no fence sitting!  
EdS56 : 8/7/2018 9:19 pm : link
Both go with our last name. So, nope, you have to take a side! :)
Congrats!

Just pick the name that feels most right to the two of you.
Congrats  
eric2425ny : 8/7/2018 9:20 pm : link
I would go with Dominick Joseph. At the end of the day either combination works out. He can decide as he gets older which he wants to go by. I know a ton of people who prefer to be called by their middle name/nickname. Cool choice of nicknames with either, Dom, Joe, Joey. Cant really go wrong there. We were so torn with my sons middle name that he ended up with two lol.

or nothing.
Domenick Joseph and it's not even close.  
NYGmen58 : 8/7/2018 9:34 pm : link
Just sounds better and more unique. Plus think of the much cooler nicknames (Do, DJ, Dommie-Joe, etc.).

Don't let your wife choose. It's YOUR son.
Great news. Congrats.

Then I prefer Dominick Joseph. I think it's more unique and "Dominick" sounds stronger than "Joseph." (No hate on the name Joseph, it's my brother's name.)
how about Domenik Hixon?  
Del Shofner : 8/7/2018 9:49 pm : link





... seriously, a vote for D.J. here.
Looks like I'm in the minority here  
BestFeature : 8/7/2018 10:03 pm : link
Joseph Dominick flows a lot better to me. It sounds much more natural together. Would you call him by his first name no matter what? Or will you call him either Joseph or Dominick? If it's by the first name you might want to think what name you'd prefer he be called for the rest of his life.
Lionel Joseph

Congratulations  
larryflower37 : 8/7/2018 10:45 pm : link
Dominic Joseph all the way and DJ is better than JD..
Think about all  
PEEJ : 8/7/2018 11:05 pm : link
the cruel nicknames he'll hear in grade school. "Joe Blow" vs "Dumb Dom", etc,
Do you like DJ or JD better?  
SteelGiant : 8/7/2018 11:08 pm : link
Because he will probably be called that a lot from some people.

DJ - Disc Jockey
JD - Jack Daniels
Whiskies vs Music
This is a tough call. They pair so well.

Some some might even shorten that, and could call him Dee or Jay
Or maybe someone will call DJ- Deej
That sounds like too many nicknames one can't control.

Or we can take the sitcom approach:
DJ tanner from "Full House" vs JD from "Scrubs"
I personally pick JD from "Scrubs" he is a doctor, good omen

Now lets try the NFL route:
DJ Ware - not the best RB of all time but "He GOT a Ring" TWICE
JD - could not think of a notable one

Your right - this is tough

Ok - now we go for Google Search - Who will have have to overtake to be the most famous person of his name or is there someone out there you do not want to associated with

Joseph Dominick - Mass Media Research writer
vs
Dominick Joseph - Young Musician to secretly marries hot actress

After Analysis - My vote is for Dominick Joseph - JD



That last line was on purpose  
SteelGiant : 8/7/2018 11:13 pm : link
You are the parents and will make the best decision not us. I hope I helped.
Joe Dom

Gatorade Dunk : 8/8/2018 7:50 am : link
nothing will.

I think both sound great  
Ken in DC : 8/8/2018 7:53 am : link
Congratulations to you and your wife. We need more people in the world like you two.
DoJo will be a great nickname  
ATL_Giants : 8/8/2018 8:33 am : link
if you get him involved in MMA.
Congratulations on the adoption by the way  
ATL_Giants : 8/8/2018 8:35 am : link
I think adoption is one of the most amazing expressions of love we can give.
Good names  
antdog24 : 8/8/2018 9:58 am : link
My son is Dominic Anthony (After my father, not me). I would go Dominick Joseph. DJ sounds cool.
I'm in  
Joeguido : 8/8/2018 10:11 am : link
the JD camp.
Sorry but Dom  
RIZZBIZZ : 8/8/2018 10:40 am : link
Is a fat guy name.
How bout Seven?
Domenick Joseph  
TyreeHelmet : 8/8/2018 11:23 am : link
Dom is a great name but you can't go wrong with either.
Dominick Joseph has a better ring to it.  
fivehead : 8/8/2018 11:23 am : link
.
I like both Dom and Joe, so you can't go wrong imo.  
yatqb : 8/8/2018 11:46 am : link
And good luck with the adoption, Ed!
I'd go with DJ  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 8/8/2018 12:38 pm : link
it just sounds better.

I vote for JD  
allstarjim : 8/8/2018 1:27 pm : link
Everybody loves a Joe. Joe is a good dude, a solid guy who is great to have a beer with and knows how to fix things. Dom sounds like he runs a pizza place, not that there is anything wrong with that.
i'm on
