Terrible or lovely? I've lost all ability to know with boys names now!

I really dislike Vincent-it's quite possibly one of the names I like least ever, along with Stanley, Keith and Sidney!

Hamish, however, I love.

GinIsIn · 07/02/2017 13:53

I like it. It makes me think of the Don McLean song, which is a beautiful song. It is, however about suicide so maybe not the ideal connotation.

LOVE Hamish though.

Pemba · 07/02/2017 13:46

Not great really. Seems to be becoming popular, on MN at least, but I don't really get the appeal.

zukiecat · 07/02/2017 13:19

Not for me

Vincent/Vince/Vinnie just sound too gangster to me

Always think of the Krays when I hear that name

n0ne · 02/02/2017 17:48

Love it, beautiful classic name. But def prefer Vince as the nn, not Vinnie.

Sophronia · 02/02/2017 17:28

I like it!

MargaretCabbage · 01/02/2017 23:28

I love it. Would have used it but I'd already used the name on a pet. Grin

sailawaywithme · 01/02/2017 23:25

Kidnapped It sounds like a Sopranos character, or any Italian-mafiosi kind of name.

AmyInTheBoonies · 01/02/2017 23:11

It's a gangsters name to me (old school British type of gangster).

I suppose it's quite cool but I wouldn't choose it.

Kidnapped · 01/02/2017 22:56

Vincent is great.

There was no Vincent in the Sopranos, was there?

Just checked. No.

sailawaywithme · 01/02/2017 22:49

Hate it. Very Sopranos, or low-life East End gangster.

Ordinarily · 01/02/2017 22:47

I like Vincent and Hamish, and quite like Reuben.

MargotMoon · 01/02/2017 22:42

Vince is cool as fuck

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/02/2017 22:37

Gorgeous

KlingybunFistelvase · 01/02/2017 21:59

Hamish is bloody amazing! Reuben is nice too but a bit meh compared to Hamish and Vincent.

Fwiw I think you will get mixed reviews for any name. Wait till he's born (if it's a he) and see which one he looks like Smile.

Mixed reviews then! I just can't decide at all, we are sorted for girls names but I can't come up with a single boys name that I love. Apart from Vincent I quite like Reuben and Hamish (we're in Scotland if that's relevant) so if anyone has suggestions that I might like too then please share them!

It's a name that has really grown on me over the last few weeks. I wasn't sure before, but it seems to be popping up on a lot of posts at the moment and I'm finding that I quite like it now!

Fishcakey · 01/02/2017 20:51

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!

FellOutOfBed2wice · 01/02/2017 20:49

God no. Truly terrible. Vincent is terrible and Vinnie is worse. I'm from Essex and it's one of those names (Vinnie at least) that you hear being screeched in the big Asda in Basildon.

I know this reply makes me sound shallow and a snob. I'm not, I promise.... but please don't name your kid Vinnie.

mrssmith79 · 01/02/2017 20:48

My brain goes straight to Beauty and the Beast, not the Disney one, the cheesy eighties one. I like it.

howtheheckdoidealwiththis · 01/02/2017 20:45

Great name. Good choice of nn too if you want.

SelfObsessionHoney · 01/02/2017 20:39

Lovely name.

RedSauce · 01/02/2017 20:38

Love it!!

KlingybunFistelvase · 01/02/2017 20:21

Love it!

GreatScot8 · 01/02/2017 19:59

I love Vincent. I prefer Vince as a nn though.

Also love Victor as a previous poster suggested.
