I love Vincent but despise Vinnie so it'd have to be Finlay.

DotDotDotDotDot · 17/08/2021 13:16

I’d go for Vincent. Good luck

RoseMartha · 17/08/2021 13:20

Finlay

Fl0w3ry · 17/08/2021 13:22

Finlay.

FluffMagnet · 17/08/2021 13:23

Finley, no competition

Finley

Zandathepanda · 17/08/2021 13:24

Oops Finlay (copied mistake)

dressupinyou · 17/08/2021 13:28

Finlay. I really really dislike Vinnie.
It's a bit judgy I know but it just sounds a bit thuggish.

MirandaBlu · 17/08/2021 13:31

Vincent! Very classic name with a strong, inspiring history. I also like the fact that it has versions in almost every European language, so it'll be familar to everyone. (You don't necessarily think about it when having a baby, but I'm grateful now that my parents gave me a traditional name that works internationally.)

I love Vin as a nickname, and Vinnie/Vinny is nice too. Finlay seems like a surname to me - nice if it's a family surname, but still a little awkward. Could Vincent Finlay Lastname work for you?

Okaygreatthanks · 17/08/2021 13:35

Vincent!

Enough4me · 17/08/2021 13:37

Finlay

whatausername · 17/08/2021 13:43

Finlay, hands down

MommaJP · 17/08/2021 13:47

Finlay

WhoppingBigBackside · 17/08/2021 13:47

Finlay

Mayhemmumma · 17/08/2021 13:50

Just Finn would be my choice

Out of two though I'd say Vincent

WhoppingBigBackside · 17/08/2021 13:52

The Vincents I know are called Vince, which isn't very nice. Vincent is better as a middle name as it won't get shortened.

Finlay shortens to Fin, which is much nicer.

Disfordarkchocolate · 17/08/2021 13:56

Finlay.

To me Vincent wears a sheepskin coat and a sovereign ring. Irrational I know.

Violetlavenders · 17/08/2021 16:40

Vincent! Classic, cool and international.

Finlay/Finley sounds a little dated as it's been sooo popular recently.

Blackberrybunnet · 17/08/2021 17:04

Vinnie. Finlay (and Fin) very VERY popular. Love Vin Diesel , so also love Vin.

GintyMcGinty · 17/08/2021 17:05

Finlay
