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 :)

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

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

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.

P.S. Starry starry night ...

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

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

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!)
