There is 3 in my sons y1 class.

mondler · 27/06/2017 20:42

I only know one whose 3. I don't know any others so here in the South I'd say it's very unusual.

MumBod · 27/06/2017 20:43

One. My gorgeous, wonderful DP.

You could do worse Wink

I know 2; one aged 60ish and one aged 18 months, both lovely. Great name!

WhingyNinja · 27/06/2017 20:46

If I ever have a son he will be Vincent, I have a 2yo Eve :)

ElusiveDuck · 27/06/2017 20:47

None.

isittheholidaysyet · 27/06/2017 20:47

One, he's 4.

Eastpoint · 27/06/2017 20:49

I have a ds with it as a middle name. It's the name of one of his grandfathers. His first name was not popular when he was born but is now mainstream.

Jecan · 27/06/2017 20:51

2 but I'm not in the Uk

Ponyboycurtis · 27/06/2017 20:51

Two - my Uncle, always called 'Vin' and a teenager, always called 'Vinnie'. Both lush.

harderandharder2breathe · 27/06/2017 21:39

One, age early sixties

n0ne · 27/06/2017 21:43

One adult guy, Dutch and geeky. It's on my boy list for this baby Smile

SumAndSubstance · 27/06/2017 21:47

One, in his 40s, known as Vince. Catholic. I think of it as a very Catholic name (not a bad thing!), but I think it is becoming more trendy.

Decaffstilltastesweird · 27/06/2017 21:54

One adult in his thirties, known as Vinny.

Wallywobbles · 27/06/2017 22:19

My DH. He's fab.

Wallywobbles · 27/06/2017 22:19

And he's French

megletthesecond · 27/06/2017 22:21

One of DS's friends. I think he's 11.

Waterlemon · 27/06/2017 22:25

I know a toddler Vincent, sometimes Vinnie (named after his great grandfather)
An adult Vincent, usually known as Vince.
A child Vincent short for Vincenzo

DS has Vincent as his middle name, it's a family name that I wanted to pass down, but he just didn't look like a Vincent.

I think it's one of those traditional names that lurk in the background, and so is quite ageless.

Giraffey1 · 27/06/2017 22:27

I know a family which has Vincent as their surname....

Giraffey1 · 27/06/2017 22:29

Just realised I know a Vincent ... everyone calls him Vinnie.

OneOfTheGrundys · 27/06/2017 22:31

Oh I love Vincent. Vinnie. Vin. Vince.

Defo on my boys list for when I never have another baby!

caringcarer · 27/06/2017 22:31

One adult. I taught him many years ago and he is a doctor now. He is of Chinese origin.

ABCFamily · 28/06/2017 04:11

Two, both adults (I'm guessing one would be in his 60s, and the other in his early 30s)

Foniks · 28/06/2017 12:51

Knew loads of old men called Vince or Vincent when i was a child. Not so many now. There's one on EastEnders though haha.
