Vincent. Anthony is very 1960s

I love Vincent! Not a huge fan of Vinnie but the only Vincent I've known never used the nickname, he was just Vincent.

Anthony nn Anto or Anton rather than Tony

Vincent reminds me of St Vincent d P (in a bad, Angela's Ashes type way), and Vinnie is thuggish. Also think it's being overused.

Anthony Vincent

Anthony but "real" Dubliners would call him Anto.

When I hear the name Anthony now I think of Denise's brother in The Royale Family, Antony and the wonderful Caroline Ahearne and Sue Johnston calling his name.

Anthony a million times over Vincent.

Vincent - I like both but Vinnie is a nicer nickname than Tony.

Lemonweightloss · 01/03/2022 17:38

Vincent.
I should like Anthony as it's very much a family name. But I don't.

I'd not like Tony or Vinnie ....

LawnFever · 01/03/2022 17:25

Vincent, I think it’s really underused.

WinterOfOurDiscoTent · 01/03/2022 17:21

I much prefer Anthony.

Would you pronounce the 'th' in Anthony?

Vincent. Unusual but an actual name.

I also like Victor.

Like both but don't like any of the diminutives. They are the sort of names I'd only use as a middle name for that reason.

Vincent

Barleysugar85 · 01/03/2022 13:29

Anthony, I think it sounds soft but strong at the same time. I like Vincent too but I'd be worried it would be shortened to Vinnie or Vince.
