What connotations does the name Vincent have for you ?

[isitseptemberyet]

Desperately trying to settle on a name, hubby loves Vincent, I've had final say on the last four names we've chosen (cos he's nice like that) ! He's liked Vincent for a long time, but I'm just not sure of how I feel about the name.. Is it too stuffy / dull?!
Would appreciate opinions / suggestions,
Thank you :)

Vincent - Starry Starry Night.

Vinny - youngish cool bloke in leather jacket. (Or the best and also tidiest garage owner / mechanic I've ever known, who also grew buckets full of amazing cut flowers!)

[RowenaDahl]

A man in his 40s who still lives with his mother. Sorry, doesn't do it for me!

[Flanderspigeonmurderer]

It makes me think of starry starry night.
I met a baby Vincent when my son was little, so four years ago.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

P.S. Starry starry night ...

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Your DH sounds lovely OP, let him name the baby.
Vincent is a nice name, nothing to dislike.
Nick name could be Vince, Vinnie or just Vin.
You'll soon get used to it.

I thought of the character Vincent in eastenders

[user1467393664]

Vincent is my sons middle name, it's a family name. I like it

[GinIsIn]

For me it just means going mad and cutting off your ear - sorry!

[FurryTurnip]

Sorry, I'm with the others who said Italian American gangster. But it doesn't matter what we think!

[GoldPlatedBacon]

I think it's fabulous. I love Vinnie too.

[Idliketobeabutterfly]

I think of home and away character.

[TheoriginalLEM]

Starry starry night.......

and a cat i once knew.

I think its a great name.

[DownWithThisSortaThing]

Vincent - Van Gogh
Vince - The Mighty Boosh

[Outnumbrd]

My Uncle (Vincenzo) 70's moustache, rogue!

[MrsDallowaySaid]

Both Vinnies I teach are very naughty so it makes me think of that. I'm not sure you'd be able to prevent the Vinnie nickname...

[Honeyandfizz]

Also think of a thug maybe a gang member!

[barnet]

Vincent seems original. He is also a lovely boy from Bordeaux.

[Joinourclub]

I get an image of a young Italian American in a leather jacket and hear 'hey Vinnie'.

[Alexthekid]

Vinnie is on my shortlist for a boy!
I obviously love it (and Vincent)

[Motherfuckers]

My dog! I love it for a baby too!

[Catnoise]

I clicked on this apprehensively as it is our chosen name for our son due next month.

Pleased to see it is mostly positive comments.

I can see us using Vince and Vinny a lot, as well as 'V' which I seem to have taken to calling him.

[Fingermoose]

The Don Maclean song for me too. Was a serious contender for us but I couldn't get around Vince which reminds me of mince and wince.

[neolara]

1970's spiv. Sorry.

[MargaretCabbage]

Vincent Price.

I love the name, but used it on a cat before DC.

[DramaAlpaca]

I find it stuffy & old fashioned, sorry.
