Vincent - What NN did your Vincent end up with?

Vincent King - Bordering on a stage name but it's rock solid and we are going with it!

I'm just wondering if you have / know a Vincent what NN did they end up with? I like Vince or Vincey but accept that Vin or Vinny are inevitable!

I know 2, one (adult) only ever addressed as Vincent, the other(child) is addressed by both Vincent and Vinny.

Guess that wasn't much help!

I know a Vincent but almost always known as Vinny by everyone

I know a Vincent but only his really close friends ever called him Vinny, and then only when being particularly affectionate!

I know an adult Vincent who has always gone by Vince

Loving these responses!! It seems the older Vincents get Vince and the younger ones get Vinny!

Vince

I don't know any young Vincents but the adults I know are a mixture of Vinnie or Vincent. Vincent King is a fabulous name!

The Vincent I know is under 10 and he is generally known as Vincent. His parents call him Vinny a bit at home.

Aragog · 28/12/2017 10:08

Child - Vincent or Vin

My husband is Vincent.

Friends call him Vinny. Myself and family call him Vince.

My nephew is Vincent, always known as Vinnie.

  1. Vincent one: no nn (he’s French)
  2. Vincent two: Vince
  3. Vincent three: based on his last name

If my DD had been a DS we were going to call them Vincent. Lovely name!

RavenWings · 30/12/2017 12:48

I know an adult Vincent who goes by Vinny or Vin.

midsomermurderess · 30/12/2017 18:28

Where I am in Scotland it’s invariably Vinnie.

dlnex · 30/12/2017 18:32

I know two Vincents and a Vince - Vince is very different to the two Vincents, but all of them are top guys.

maitaimojito · 30/12/2017 20:02

The one I know is mainly known as Vin.

TossDaily · 30/12/2017 22:34

DP is Vincent.

He was Vinny when young.
Vince for years - still is to the rest of the world.
To me he's V ninety nine percent of the time.

He's Vincent when he's in trouble Wink and Vincenzo when I'm feeling fancy.

It's a great name.

My brother's best friend was called Vincent but he was known as Vinnie
