So the boyfriend suggested Vincent.......  I was a little put off at first about it, but the more I hear it the more I like it...   Thoughts?

well I love the name Vince for a guy, I think it's really masculine. But not as a name, only as a nickname. So I think Vincent is perfect

It's my nephew's name, and it's totally awesome. I highly recommend it :)

It just sounds a little devilish to me. Like, evil. Like Damien and Lucifer, or something.

Visions of Vincent Price dancing through your head?

Vincent Price, Vincent D'Onofrio in The Cell. Heck, even Vincent Kartheiser when he was on Angel.

Vincent's not bad, but I don't like either of the nicknames. Both Vince and Vinnie come off sounding gangsterish to me.

I like it a lot. Vince, Vin and Vinnie do sound a bit gangsterish but I still like them lol.

I LOVE Vincent! It's my (favorite) cousin's name, and my friend named her son Vincent, so obviously I can't use it myself. But it's still one of my favorite boys' names. I hate all of the nicknames, but Vincent is beautiful! It's got that classic feel without being "old," it's not overly popular, and it ages well.

I love Vincent. It's definitely one of my top fives. I'm not a huge fan of the nicknames for it, but Vincent by itself is simply wonderful.

I don't like it. It has a sort of metallic sound. I don't know how to explain it. The "nts" kind of sound in it is where I really get that feeling. Part of it maybe also that it sounds like "cent" at the end. Also, it was the name of the bad guy in The Secret World Of Alex Mac and that was my primary association for years. Sorry.

Your icon is neat though!

It's my grandfather's name and my dad's middle name so I've had a lot of exposure to it. It's just not my favorite name in the world.

That's one of the names we considered if the critter was a boy. I like it a lot, and Vince is a great nickname too.

I've always loved it! My first Cabbage Patch Doll was named Vincent, after the beast on the TV show Beauty and the Beast, hehe.

That's part of the charm for me. :D

OP: I like it. Not big on Vinny, but Vince and the full name are awesome.

I like the namy Vincent :) I think it's agreat name. It took me a while to like it after I heard it.

I think it sounds super Italian. Maybe because every Vincent/Vinny/Vince I've ever known has been Italian. So for me, a non-Italian Vincent would be weird.

I like the name, though, just not something I feel I could use because well, I'm not Italian.
