Bisquits

What about Vince?

MysteriousHamster · 15/08/2011 23:20

I love Vincent (it was on my shortlist, but not my husband's) and like Vinnie.

People will assume Vinnie is short for Vincent. And just no no no to Vinnie-Joe or Vinnie-Jay

Isn't the panda on the Foxes bis-quits ads called Vinnie? Also Vinnie Jones springs to mind.

Uber cool. Love it. DH and I had discussed it too. If we had had a boy.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 15/08/2011 23:10

Is it for a boy or a girl?

exoticfruits · 15/08/2011 22:21

Horrid.

Bunbaker · 15/08/2011 22:13

No to hyphenated names. Round here they aren't thought of very highly.

I have a Vinnie (full name Vincent on bc). People keep telling me it's a 'cool' name and he's the only one in his school, but this isn't a bad thing, the other kids seem to like his name. I still love it too.Smile

Worse. Much worse.

How about Vinnie-jay or Vinnie-Joe

I like Vincent. Vinnie would be cute whilst young. I'd definately put Vincent on the bc.

No, Victor would be Vic or Vicky - not very feminine.

InstantAtom · 15/08/2011 20:53

How about Victor instead?

hangon · 15/08/2011 20:40

I think the name sounds like a little thug. Its probably going to be naughty before it is born.

peeriebear · 15/08/2011 20:39

Friend was called Vincent and loathed it; after years of bullying, changed his name at around 15 to something else. Sorry.

Everyone will assume it is the abbreviation for Vincent whether you like it or not though.

Vincent is nicer.
