Domergue Last Name - Spoiler!

Spoilers...

For a brother and sister, they seemed almost too close. Take the couple minutes where he came out of the trap door. The way they looked at each other made me think they had something else going on. So if they've got an incestuous relationship going on, that's what they may want to keep secret from everyone outside the gang. After all, the gang will accept them for who they are. The rest of society, not so much.


A coward hides behind freedom. A brave person stands in front of it & defends it for others.

I just took it as they have a difficult name to pronounce correctly. Everyone else in the movie just pronounces it phonetically when it's actually something else.

I watched this for the 4th time last night and didn't notice it until someone I was watching it with brought it up. So I came here to see if anyone else had anything to say about it and here you are. I feel like theres got to be something there. I want to assume its someone maybe spelled it wrong on a wanted poster or on bounty papers or something like that. and just through word of mouth, it has been changed to Domergue, rather than Domingre. That's my guess, but maybe it is her intention to have a fake last name to help hide her identity.

Also, I totally disagree with the incestuous relationship thing mentioned here. I think the reason they give each other a long look is because they feared they would never see each other alive again. And they are happy to see each other, brother and sister. They are in a gang together so of corse they are close. Anything sexual between them is entirely the viewer's projection onto them. I doubt they would care enough to hide anything like that from people and not whatever they did in the gang to make themselves wanted criminals.

The way I saw it was John Ruth, who clearly isn't an intellectual by any sense of the imagination, butchered the pronunciation of her name, either because he has no idea how to pronounce a surname like "Domergue" or he purposely butchered it so he wouldn't let someone like Maj. Warren know who he was traveling with. In the final chapter, when she explains who Jody is, pay close attention to Maj. Warren's face. The INSTANT after she mentions the Domergue Gang, Maj.Warren realizes who Daisy and all the living inside Minnie's, apart from himself and Chris, are.

"KatTS" / "M" / "LLL" / "KoC-VoT" / "NA"

The characters were just saying her name wrong.

It's a movie where nothing is what it seems, not even her actual name.

Im new to the thread but have often checked this board on my way to viewing this great film for last 100 times, so i just wanted to say that John Ruth needs glasses to read and most likely considered Daisy "Whatever her name is", a small piece of business...despite the somewhat intimate relationship depicted. I didnt even notice the name resemblance for at least 20 viewings so i doubt Warren did either
