Vincent?

[IWishIWasAFrog]

Need a boy name to go with a super difficult Dutch surname, any thoughts on Vincent?

Theo
Alexander (Alex)
Dirck

We had Vincent on our list. Like it.

Theo and Alexander are lovely, and very popular.

Dirck - Do you live in UK or the Netherlands?

I think in the UK it's a bit Kray brother, lock stock and whatever, Eastenders Albert Square-ish. (it's the Vinnie bit)

It might be much classier abroad though!

UK, but name needs to work in all languages, pfb is called Ben, which is easy on all the tongues. Not Dutch though, South African, but Dutch surname. Just worried about the nn though, Vince? Sounds like it could be a caracter in a gangster movie!

I really like Vincent

Yes, that was one of the things that stopped me, Vince/Vinnie are both thuggish.

DH is French but we're living in the UK for the next couple of years and that would have driven me crazy. If we have another DS in France I might use it.

I guess he could just be "Vee".

Dirck sounds like a porn star.

I like all the others, especially Theo. Alexander is quite common these days, so it depends if you want something more unusual.

Vin is another NN.

Danish Crown Prince/ss have just named one of their twins Vincent. So to us he'd be Prince Vince - maybe not in Denmark though

Agree with Bucharest about Vincent.

Dirck sounds a strange name, a bit of a combination between Dick and Dirt

I like Theo and Alexander.

I like Alexander best. Vincent with a dutch sounding last name would make me think van Gogh.

Love it, esp. as I used to work with a very cheery and clever Vincent.

I love Vincent. I agree that Vinnie and Vin are bad NNs, but Vince is fine.
