Dominika and Domonique are both fairly uncommon names, and both also derive from the same latin roots meaning "of the Lord".
What are the odds that in a group of 5 people, 2 would have different uncommon names that both have the same meaning and origin?
I'd guess the odds are very low, which would make this a quite interesting coincidence.
On the other hand, there are many possible pairs of uncommon names derived from a common root, so maybe something like the Birthday Paradox applies and so it is not all that interesting to have two uncommon names from the same root in a group of 5.
