Vinnie

[redglow]

What do you think

A definite no.It sounds like a Mafia member.

Vincent is nicer.

Do not like vincent.

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

I suppose so bunbaker.

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

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

How about Victor instead?

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.

How about Vinnie-jay or Vinnie-Joe

Worse. Much worse.

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.

Finally somebody likes it.

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

Horrid.

Is it for a boy or a girl?

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

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

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

What about Vince?

Bisquits

There is also the long form Vincenzo if you don't like Vincent. I loved the name Vinnie so much I considered Lavinia for a girl, but the 'Lav' bit put me off. Too much like lavatory!

Yup, mafia. Italian barber / greengrocer / pizzamaker..

Vinnie-Jay sounds like a euphemism for a fanjo.

PILs suggested Vincent when I was expecting DS. I absolutely loathed it. Vinnie Jones immediately sprung to mind and makes me think of thick, "hard" troublemakers.

Hideous. He'll be thought of as a thug before anyone has even met him. And as for the hillbilly 2 names thing - please, no.
