My boyfriend and I were thinking about Vladmir Domino. What do you all think?

It would be a he, clearly, as Vladmir is a boy's name.

No, it's not consistent with my heritage... and I definitely did not get it out of a book, I got it from my imagination. I like character names and it sounds like a real character to me... and you'd never forget someone with that name if you met them.

I think it is very strong name and will help him when he becomes a man and goes to college. He will earn respect with the name alone.

Vladmir soesn't sound American. It sounds more Russian. It's not a bad thing but people would probably assume that he is a first generation immigrant if they only had the name to go by.
Domino? Not bad for a middle name but not a primary name.
I think you should respect your heritage, but not by using your child's name to do so. Your child deserves a name that will be normal and accepted in the environment that he will grow up in. Keep the heritage for the middle name and give him a good strong American name like Brad. Okay, just kidding, kinda. My son's name is Bret.
Oh, and you are welcome for the answer you thanked me for regarding the muscle building women. I am glad you appreciated my input.

vladimir is the name of dracula, I love the name vladmir but not domino. I would drop the middle name and find something else to go with it. Such as Vladmir wolfgang or Vladmir Jackson or something, but not domino. That is only my suggestion though.

So long as you are sure of him not getting teased abt ' Domino' (as in the game or Pizza), go ahead.
Plus Vladmir maybe difficult to pronounce - if you want a Russian name, I like Sergei (after the Google guy)

While I typically like russian-sounding names, I dont like Vladmir. I would have named my girl Sonia but my husband didnt like it. Ended up with a french name instead. If you both like it, go for it, but you have to imagine what it will be like calling your little baby that. Do you have a nice nickname to go with it for when he's still a child? Think it over a little more perhaps...

I think the proper spelling is VLADIMIR.
I really think you wouldn't be doing him a favor with this combination. Names that are hard to pronounce or spell cause problems for children. I have that kind of name, so I know. If you want him to have an unusual name, it should be his middle name so he can always substitute an initial for it, or just ignore it, if he wants. He should have a classic first name like Christopher, David, Daniel, John, Charles, Victor...something strong, simple, and easy to spell and say. I think it's a very good thing for a child to have at least one name that does reflect his culture because that lets him know that his origins are positive and important. You might want to honor that culture through his middle name.

You must not be too sure of it if you're asking for opinions. If the name felt right, you'd know it, and there would be no question.
You also have to remember that your baby is going to grow up. What nick names are kids going to come up with when he's in school?
Is it a name an adult man can be comfortable with in whatever path of life he chooses?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not give your child a name that is not consistent with his heritage. My parents did. It has been nothing but a burden to me all my life. I dread every time I have to introduce myself because the person ALWAYS gives me a funny look and asks me to repeat myself. It is ALWAYS misspelled by people and has caused me many problems at doctor's offices, insurance, licensing, etc. because of it. Then everyone says oh you must be of such-and-such heritage and when I say No, they look at me like I'm a freak. It really affects how people see me before they get to know me. I RESENT MY MOTHER TERRIBLY FOR IT AND HAVE TOLD HER SO MANY MANY MANY TIMES.
Yes, that name does sound like a book character. But he's not. He's a real flesh and blood human being who will bear the burden of your decision in naming him FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE! You love your baby, right? Don't let him be the one on Yahoo Answers a few years down the road saying how much he resents YOU for putting that burden on him.

I dont think its a good name for an indian child-
1- he will have problem saying it
2- problem in learing the spelling
3- friends can make fun
4- he could be curious to know the meaning also
PLEASE DONT TORCHER THE CHILD

Honestly, it makes me think of a vampire. But it is unusal. Is it from your heritage or just a name you picked out of a book?
