Which name do you prefer, Vinnie (nickname Vin) or Jenson (nickname Jens)?

both names are really unusual here in Scotland - only 11 called Vinnie in the last year and 26 called Jenson

Vincent is a naughty boy's name? Confused I didn't realise that was how it worked

😂 If mine is Vincent/Vinnie unfortunately for him after years of being an infant teacher he will absolutely not get away with being naughty and will be the best behaved child in his class so that will not be true for him 😂

The 2 Jenson's in the school are in England.

I think you like Jenson the most from what you have said!

Raphael, with Raphie as a nickname? Know someone super cool called that....

Vincent is nice but not Vinnie as the full name.

Jenson is chavvy.

🥰 Jenson

Vincent would be good. Rowan or Jasper are okay

Jenson is awful . Vincent nn Vinnie is great , Vincent was on our list if we had a boy .

Sorry op but I’m wondering why they’re not popular names in Scotland Hmm not keen on either too much Vinnje Jones and Jenson Butler for-me. Out of your list I’d go for Freddie, not so common and not trying too hard to be different.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 10/03/2021 03:10

I don't like either. Vinnie reminds me of an old East End man in a flat cap holding a pint of ale. Jenson is a bit nothingey. But your list is nice! I LOVE Rudy, Felix, Rafe and Jasper. I like Ralph, Rowan and Theo.

I love Vincent. I don't like Jenson. From your list, I like Rudy. Not with an i, though.
I feel that you really like Jenson, so i think you should go with that.

Haha yes I think you’re right 😂 so hard when you’re keeping the name a secret but want to know what other people think! Really I should just go with what we like though, there will be people who like or dislike it whatever we call him

Love Jenson! Considered it for my little boy. Hate Vinnie/Vincent, sounds like a 40yr old thug name to me sorry

I think he’s going to end up being Jenson. I try and like other names but just can’t take to them because I feel like he’s already called Jenson! X
