My favorite middle names for Dominic have to be Dominic Ryder and Dominic Henry. Dominic is such a strong, masculine name — it deserves a similarly powerful middle name!
But there are so many choices and you should choose the one that feels right for you.
Meaning of the name Dominic
Dominic comes from Classical Latin and can be translated as “Lord” or “Master” — or “belong to the lord.”
Dominic has been a popular name in the Roman Catholic tradition for centuries, but today people of all faiths (or no faith) name their sons Dominic.
In fact, Dominic is a fairly popular name right now — usually coming in as one of the top 100 boy names in the U.S., depending on whose data you trust.
Some famous Dominics include actors Dominic Gerard Francis Eagleton West (how’s that for some middle name ideas!) and Dominic Keating, along with former NFL running back Dominic Dondrell Rhodes.
