Dominique
About Dominique
Unisex option Dominique peaked for boys at Number 170 in 1991, perhaps due to the popularity of basketball player Dominique Wilkins. While it has now fallen out of the popularity charts in both the US and its native France, it was still given to around 140 boys and 60 girls in a recent year. This makes it a truly gender-neutral baby name, joining the ranks with - yet standing out from - the likes of Charlie, Rowan, Parker, and Sevyn.
Pronounced dah-min-EEK.
As of October 2026, Dominique ranked #1468 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #170 in 1991.
Editor's take: The name Dominique is a boy's name of French origin meaning "belonging to the lord".
