He would probably be known as Tony (or Ant) or Vinnie when he was older so which of these do you mind the least? I like Vincent.

Vincent. But I hate the diminutives for it.

Vincent. Wonderful name

Vincent. Unusual but an actual name.

I also like Victor.

Anthony, I think it sounds soft but strong at the same time. I like Vincent too but I'd be worried it would be shortened to Vinnie or Vince.

Vincent

Like both but don't like any of the diminutives. They are the sort of names I'd only use as a middle name for that reason.

Would you pronounce the 'th' in Anthony?

WinterOfOurDiscoTent · 01/03/2022 17:21

I much prefer Anthony.

LawnFever · 01/03/2022 17:25

Vincent, I think it’s really underused.

Lulu1919 · 01/03/2022 17:31

I'd not like Tony or Vinnie ....

Lemonweightloss · 01/03/2022 17:38

Vincent.
I should like Anthony as it's very much a family name. But I don't.

itssquidstella · 01/03/2022 17:39

Vincent - I like both but Vinnie is a nicer nickname than Tony.
