An old family friend just had her second baby: Vincenzo Wynn B_____. Nickname 'Enzo'..  What do you think?


How would you pronounce Vincenzo? They're Italianish. I had this same problem with their daughter Ciara.

I think it's cute and definitely fits them. Not a name I would use, but like I said, it's them. I also prefer Vin-CHEN-zo over Vin-SEN-zo. Lol, of course, I'm not Italian and steer more towards Irish names.

I guess you would call them very Italian. I really don't know if the father is of Italian descent or not, but the mother is. We're close to the mother's family, but I don't know if her mother is Italian either. But her paternal grandmother is 1st generation from Italy; not sure if her dad is too. She got really into the Italian language and culture as a teenager (she's about 10 years older than me) and studied in Italy for awhile. Anywho.. lol.

I really like Vincenzo, but I do have the family bias. My mom's family is super Italian, so it sort of works. My other great-uncle is Antonio. Vin-CHEN-zo just sounds better to me, because the hard c is much more common in Italian.

My mom really loves Italian names, but she didn't want to do that for me because our last name is really Irish and she thought it would sound weird.
