Vincent

[HGisme]

What are your thoughts?

I really like it. Understandably, many will say old fashioned but I think it's cool as well as classic

I also like the meaning. DS was originally a triplet so my only survivor of the 3 He is also a baby after multiple losses, one of which being twin boys.

My Grandmother insists he will get bullied with a name like Vincent. I said I can't see why, given some of the names of today's children.

I absolutely love it!!!
Cool and classic. And he can be Vinnie to his teenage mates- so cool. Vincent is a very noble name on a man.
What is the meaning?

So sorry for your losses

Thank you Nassau!

It means Conquerer and victorious... which is true for him.

Lovely OP, what a very special little boy he is !

I think it's a great name 😊

Sugar Thank you, very sweet of you

I think your grandmother - no disrespect to her - is probably pretty out of touch with modern naming styles.

Vincent is very cool. It is increasing in popularity (not exploding but slowly on the rise) and I can't see a single reason anyone would get bullied for it.

I love it, but I don't like the nn Vinnie. Actually, I went to school with one and he was mostly known as Vince.

Love it!

My second favourite name (after my DS's!)

YouWhat I'm not too bothered by Vinnie as nn, sounds very Italian Mafia to me

Then again, he could just correct people with a straight face and say "It's Vincent"

I love it because of the Don McLean song of the same name about VanGogh.

Vince is nice nn too !

I like it!

I like it! It's really cool.

Vincent is lovely. Know a roughly 8yo one and think it works on all ages. It also travels well.

Vincent is great! Can't see what could possibly be tease worthy?!

Congratulations OP and sorry to hear of your losses

Vincent is a good strong name, and the meaning makes it feel very fitting. I like Vinnie/Vin a lot, Vince less so, but he'll have plenty of options to shorten it if he wants.

There's a Vincent at a baby group I go to. I was so surprised when I heard it but I think it's really, really cool.

Vincent/Vinny is quite "in" at the moment. I don't think anyone would raise an eyebrow at your choice, nor would he get bullied.

This is a special baby who deserves a special name. If you love it, go for it.

Lovely meaning to the name- and how appropriate. Go for it OP. And congratulations!

My Grandmother insists he will get bullied with a name like Vincent

What a ridiculous thing to say. Names are often manipulated for teasing purposes, but I can't see anything obvious about Vincent. Kids always find something if they want to tease each other anyway.

A much more tease worthy name is William with Willy !

But Vincent...?!

Vincent (Vinnie) Is a fan name. Its not tease worthy at all.

It's lovely.

Great name! Vinnie is cute and Vin is cool.

So sorry for your losses OP

Lovely.

I love it.
