Yes, one. Adult. And a definite Vincent, I can't even contemplate him being a Vinnie!

queenofthedump · 27/06/2017 19:16

A 7 year-old and two 3 year-olds.

Bythepath · 27/06/2017 19:21

I know a 2 year old. They don't shorten it.

Thingvellir · 27/06/2017 19:24

Yes, a work colleague and all-round lovely guy. He's a grandad.

I've answered an identical OP before a few months ago, the name must be gaining popularity!

BlooBagoo · 27/06/2017 19:25

One, aged about 6/7 and goes by the full name and no nicknames yet.

KatharinaRosalie · 27/06/2017 19:27

Tons, but I'm in France

MyfatheristheKing · 27/06/2017 19:27

1, he's 40 and gets called Vinnie

VilootShesCute · 27/06/2017 19:29

Yes my uncle. He's very fat and not a particularly nice person but I love the name anyway!

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 27/06/2017 19:29

One, about 70, known as Vince.

And a dog who gets shortened to Vinnie.

C0untDucku1a · 27/06/2017 19:30

One baby

Sophronia · 27/06/2017 19:57

I don't know any. In the most recent stats it ranked #145, so it's not particularly popular.

HumpHumpWhale · 27/06/2017 20:01

My cousins' dad. I.e. used to be married to my aunt. Is he my uncle? Not sure. Lovely man, anyway. I haven't met any baby Vincents yet. It might be on the way up but is definitely not ubiquitous yet.

FaFoutis · 27/06/2017 20:03

One adult. I like the name.

Hulababy · 27/06/2017 20:04

3

One is an adult - probably 60s
Two are children - one is 7y and the other must be about 10y I guess now.

AnneElliott · 27/06/2017 20:04

One. But he's in his 50's and everyone calls him Vince.

Hulababy · 27/06/2017 20:05

Oh forgot to add:

The adult is sometimes know as Vinnie as well as Vincent.
The younger child often calls himself Vin, and gets called Vin, Vinnie or Vincent by others.

IStoleThisUsername · 27/06/2017 20:13

I nearly called ds2 Vincent but went to a party before he was born and there were 2 baby Vinnies which put me off. Shame as it's a lovely name.

amousehaseatenmypaddlingpool · 27/06/2017 20:16

One, adult, known as Vin. Lovely.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 27/06/2017 20:18

Yep. One older chap who is lovely, and I taught a couple too (age 13-17)

Zampa · 27/06/2017 20:21

I thought it was an unusual name but upon further thought, realised I know 3, a Vince, a Vinnie and a Vin. All adults though.

dementedma · 27/06/2017 20:23

Two adults and a little Vinny.

FreyaJade · 27/06/2017 20:27

I knew a Vincent - he was very nice & very clever if a little geeky. He wore glasses & was a bit of a joker too. I remember his father was Jewish so he went to Saturday classes to learn Hebrew. He's now married & got a good career. He never got called anything but Vincent. Not sure about the name but I liked him.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 27/06/2017 20:30

I work with a Vincent, he's in his early 20s.

Yika · 27/06/2017 20:33

I know a 5 year old, I think the name is definitely on the up. I like it.

AdmiralSirArchibald · 27/06/2017 20:34

Two. Both aged about 12. Both naughty!
