I wanted a Latin name as my other child has one, it means "prevailing" which I really like.

I like it. Classic, strong and not overused.

ThrowAChickenInTheAir · 12/08/2014 07:04

I like it a lot. Good choice!

Vin, Vinnie may also end up as nicknames but they're rather good as we'll.

(As well not we'll Confused.)

I LOVE Vincent! If this baby girl I'm having turns into a boy, I want to use Vincent.

It's underused in the UK, I think because of Vinnie Jones, but a kid's classmates aren't going to know who he is.

I'll be a bit sad if I don't get to use it one day :)

Vincent is a great name. Vinnie will be the coolest kid at school! Smile

My brother is a Vincent named after the Don McLean song ergo after Vincent Van Gogh.

It's a great name!

I really don't like it, sorry.

It's our favourite for a boy - so strong for a grown-up but also quite sweet for a little one. Like you say, Vinnie Jones will be a distant memory by the time they grow up, it;s just our generation who make the association

I love it, and as a not-so-secret geek, it always reminds me of Final Fantasy VII nostalgia (the character, and truly romantic, Vincent Valentine) and that makes me very happy. Grin Go for it!

PrimalLass · 13/08/2014 17:22

I like Vinnie, but not so keen on Vince.

freyaW2014 · 13/08/2014 17:23

I don't like it

neolara · 13/08/2014 17:25

Awful. Sorry.

backinaminute · 13/08/2014 17:26

I know littleVincent, I love it Grin

Legionofboom · 13/08/2014 17:29

Another one who thinks it's awful.

CinnabarRed · 13/08/2014 17:29

It's DS1's middle name. Only reason it's not his first name is because our surname is Jones...

AlpacaYourThings · 13/08/2014 17:46

I really don't like it, sorry.

Pregnantagain7 · 13/08/2014 17:49
