Dominic or Dominick?

What's the true, "traditional" way to spell this name? Thanks in advance!

Re: Dominic or Dominick?
Dominic
the K isnt necessary
DS1's mn is Dominic. I don't like it spelled any other way.
I prefer Dominic (it's our hypothetical boys name) but I was told by a few people that the black community pronounces that name Dom-i-neek whether it's spelled that way or Dominique, so that's why they put the K on the end. Dominique can be a males name as well. I grew up across the street from a Dominic who was called Dominique a lot. I've heard that from a few people in my area when we were thinking of names and I know quite a few Italian boys with the K.
I don't want to start a race/cultural debate, this is just me relaying what I was told/experienced.

lol!
dominic for sure.
Usually I'm on board with the traditional spellings, but my brother's middle name is Dominick, after our great grandfather.
There is also a grocery store chain in Chicago called Dominick's.

This. Not sure why you would need both a "c" and a "k".
this is the main character in one of my favorite books, i know this much is true.
in the book, it's spelled dominick
My father's name is Dominick. I have always felt that "Dominic" looks unfinished. I guess it is all in how you look at it.
to provide clarification for black people, of course!
