I always got a chuckle out of Domingue
Every one I ever met was doe-mang, until one uppity sumbitch pronounced his doe-ming-gay. LOL
I get calls from people speaking Spanish asking for doe-ming-gay. The funny thing here is it is derived from the name Dominguez but most families in Louisiana dropped the Z several generations ago. One of my distant relatives has researched the name and the oldest reference to the name he found was a gentleman in Lisbon, Portugal from the early to mid 1500s. The path goes Portugal to Spain to the Canary Islands (part of Spain) to Louisiana in the mid to late 1700s.
