Vincent VanGogh is my favorite artist. Though he suffered he was also an extremely beautiful person, unlike anyone, a "stranger on the earth". I would feel honored to name my son after him.

Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7, by SquareEnix, is a very famous character amongst RPG gamers (meaning a whole lot of us)
The character 'Vincent' in the late 80's CBS show "Beauty and the Beast" is still beloved by devoted fans of the show. There are even mailing lists devoted to the character and the actor who played him, Ron Perlman.
For any football fans out there, Vincent Young, Jr. is the former University of Texas Quarterback, originally from Houston, and now plays for the Tennesse Titans. Vince Young, or "VY" is a big hero in Texas. He doesn't let his team lose.
Vincent Price! The master of horror! Been in such movies as The Fly, Return of the Fly, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and the Edgar Allan Poe movies (the other Master of Horror).
I always imagine a handsome goth boy when I hear this name. I think it comes from the darkness of Vincent Price's work and the coolness of Vincent Valentine.
The first time I heard it about ten years ago I fell instantly in love with it and decided that this would be my son's name. Now when I think about it, it sounds mysterious since so many dark characters in books, games, and movies have been given this name.

Vincent is a wonderful name for a boy - it has a front vowel sound that some studies have shown makes a man more attractive to women, which could be a big reason for its allure.
VIN means WIN, here, but also Vine. You could say Vincent means a hundred wins, making him VICTORIOUS. Other names with the same meaning are Nicholas, Nicole, Victoria.
The American lyrical poet Edna St. Vincent Millay was called Vincent by family and friends. She was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Vincent "Vince" Gill is a popular American country musician and songwriter.
I love this name. It is a strong name that will never go out of style. Strong. Loyal. Steadfast. Very classic name. This was my Grandfather's name. My Grandmother's nickname for him was Vin. I hope to use it for my child one day.
Just so you know, 'Vincent' went out of style LONG ago. It's one of those stuffy names that never fit any young person. I mean, picture a five year old going around as Vincent? bleh!
Vincent is not a stuffy name! This is my friend's name, and it suits him. For your information, I can't imagine Vincent as an old man, but surley it fits a yound person!

I like the name Vincent. It seems as if it would flow nicely with any name you wanted to use as a middle name. I wish I'd thought of this before I named my two sons, and we might have named them Vincent!
Vincent has such a strong, handsome look and sound. It's a classy name that will age well but also suits a child just fine. I don't see this as an 'old man' name at all; I know three Vincents under the age of 12.
Vincent van Gogh is a great reason to name your son Vincent, but to me the name sounds thin and ugly. The -in and the -en sound with v and c sound weird. Just a villianous name.
I don't really care for this name. It strikes me as a stereotypical Italian-American name the same way that Anthony and Joseph do. The nickname Vinny is also very boring and always goes to the mobster in movies. Plus, it sounds rather like an old man name.
I've always found Vincent an attractive name. Some people find it sinister, largely in part, I assume, because of actor Vincent Price. In the old 1940's movie, Mrs. Miniver, her oldest son is Vincent, called Vin. I really like Vin as a nickname. Of course now people would think of Vin Diesel, Vincent is his last name.

I have bad associations with the name Vincent. Especially those who go by Vince for short. Vincent just sounds to me like a conceited jerk.

Prince Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander of Denmark was born on January 8, 2011 and christened April 14, 2011. He is the son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
My boyfriend's name is Vincent Francis. I love the name Vince or Vincent in it's full form. I don't like when people add "y" to nice masculine names. Michael, Vince, Joseph are so nice in full and sound much better than Mikey, Vinny or Joey. Yikes! Vincent is strong, dark and handsome. Love strong names on men. I think the full name conjures up more respect, especially when they get older.
I don't know anyone with the first name Vincent, but it's my cousin's middle name. I like it, it's very classic sounding but masculine at the same time. I like Vinnie, Vince, and even Vin as a nickname :)
