I just purchased mangos with these names, but can't find any information on them.

Would anyone know of possible alternative spellings?

Also found Buttercream (or Butter Cream?) at Zill HP.  Were these formerly numbered (so I could search for information on them) ?

Thanks!

Dominica is the name...sorry you will have to endure sampling it.  Pretty lousy mango, and consistently lousy.

Winters...usually an early season mango (hopefully it was marked correctly); its a seedling of Ono, a Hawaiian variety, possibly crossed with Haden.  Fruit is colorful, fiber free with a somewhat generic mango flavor.  Ok/average on the taste scale.

Khaew Yai /Khao Yai /Kiew Yai...a smallish Thai mango predominantly used for eating green.  Very good for Thai mango salad but not mush worth eating fully ripe.

Buttercream, aka 34-12, aka Pot-O-Gold if you bought mangoes in the past from Walter Zill.  Again, a somewhat average mango in the scope of the "new Zill" varieties IMO however I have known some to really like this one.
