[Opinions] Vincent
I'm curious as to what people think of it. My friend has a newborn with the name and I really like it. Even better -my husband likes it, too.

I really like it. It sounds very handsome and strong, but not too rough. It seems sophisticated without being snooty. It works well for both aristocrats and everyday people.
Yeah, I agree.
I really want to like Vincent, but the "vince" sound is so unattractive. It alternately reminds me of a Mafia thug and a prissy, whiny little boy.
I see that as well.
I'm kinda of on the fence with it. I like it - but I have the same associations you do. It's just odd to have a male name that my husband and I somewhat agree on. The only other ones we truly agree on are Raphael and Thomas...but I'm iffy with Raphael and he's iffy with Thomas. :-D I've kinda of gotten used to be somewhat on board with a name.

I like it! It's cool, classic but not overused, and reminds me of Vincent van Gogh (who I consider a pretty awesome namesake, although I know some people will probably say he's just that crazy guy who chopped off his ear :P).
Adore it
I hardcore love Vincent. I find it deep, lovely, and somehow edgier than most classic male names. It's always in my top 2; today, it's my #1 pick for a son.
I prefer Vincent in full, but I don't mind any of the nicknames.

I used to like it a long time ago, then for awhile it was just okay, kinda boring, but I've been liking it a bit more again lately. It has an appealing dark, dashing thing going on. Possibly because of Vincent Valentine from FFVII. :)
I love Vincent. It sounds both cool and classic. It seems like a name that should be popular but it isn't. I only like the nn Vin and Ent. I don't like any of the other nn. But I always thought Ent would be a cool nn. I'd call him my little Tree Ent. I'd probably call him Vincent most of the time.
I love Vincent van Gogh's artwork. ^_^
It use to be on my favorite name list for boys next to Damian and Xavier about 6 or 7 years ago. You know I think I like it enough right now that it is back in my Top 25. All this year I've been re-falling in love with all my favorite 2005 Names that I fell out of love with because I thought they were too popular / common.

I have a 3 years old Vincent William ;)
I quite like it too.
Nah.
Vincent is a name I like one day, dislike the other etc. But usually I dislike it. Mostly because of my associations I guess, but also because I usually don't like V names and I dislike the Vince beginning.

I like it. Would think about using it. It seems crisp and classical, very manly but not rough. A little on the chilly side, on paper, but I think calling a real person Vincent would make it seem warmer.
I like Vincent a lot- it is a really strong and intelligent sounding name. I don't like the nicknames Vin, Vince or Vinny though and I think they'd be difficult to avoid altogether, even if you always introduced him as Vincent. I would be worried he would decide to go by one of those nicknames when he was old enough to make the decision and I just wouldn't want that. I'd like to see it on someone else's kid though. It sounds really good with a lot of your other top names as well!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this name! Love, love, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!! It's my dad's name, but it's more than just that. It's an awesome name!!!!!!!!!!! I love the meaning, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it, but I would only consider it for a middle name, never a first.
