Hello, my husband is really keen on naming our son (due in 10 weeks) Vincent or Vinnie for short. It brings a very strong mental image to my mind and I am just wondering what other people think of it?

Any comments welcomed!

"Vincent is an older man's name IMO"

But older people were babies too one day, you know. And the older people won't be around forever, by which time our children won't consider them as 'older people's names' .

I really like Vincent, by the way. As well as Vince and Vinnie.

I love Vincent, my DP's name, and he shortens it to Vinny which I much prefer to Vinnie. I do prefer the full name though, also reminds me of the beautiful Don Mclean song. His family call him Vin.

Absolutely love Vinnie for short - not keen on Vince - just seems 'old' in my opinion.

I like Vincent very much. Vince is nicer than Vinny imo.

I like Vincent but am not that keen on Vin/Vinnie, I'm afraid.
