I think Vincent is a beautiful name graced with strength and elegance. I love its length, its meaning, its classiness, and its potential nicknames, βVinnyβ and βVinceβ (among others). As other commenters have stated, I think this name ages flawlessly, and I think it could βsuitβ, if you will, many different people/personalities. Overall, I think Vincent is a wonderful name.

Vincent is a mysterious and villainous name, I think of a Vincent as a supervillain in a purple and black suit and heβs in a comic. I hate the nickname Vinnie tho.

I really like the name Vincent. Itβs cute for a little boy especially with the nickname Vinnie, and itβs also a strong name for a man. It grows very well with a person.

Decent and mysterious at the same time, I like it. Vince is a nice nickname, but Vinny/Vinnie is bad. The only thing I donβt like about it tho, is that itβs slightly a little bit close to the words violence and violent.

Beyond the evident solidness and class of the name it is one of the rare names in which the nicknames are appealing too i.e. Vince and Vinny. You even have a choice between cool and affectionate. It's good.

Surprisingly, no one has mentioned this yet. Vincent is the name Rebornica, comic artist, named Purple Guy/William Afton from the game/book series Five Nights at Freddy's before we knew his real name. Now it is used as like the name that the fangirls call him. You know, the whole Sans fangirl thing? It's like that, but less extreme. Also used by people who aren't true fans and somehow don't know his canon name.

I love the whole vibe this name exudes. Vincent. It's very regal sounding, but it also sounds surprisingly casual. It's a fitting name for a guy of any age. It's as powerful as it is charming.

Vincent is one of those names that has a soft phonetic sound at the beginning and middle, but then concludes with an abrupt βtβ that contributes to the masculine identity. This name is a classic that is not prodigious to make the deductions for it being considered βcommonβ and might offer an air of sophistication to a potential parent of a son named Vincent.

A very nice name, so dignified and masculine. I'm glad that it isn't very common. Hopefully the "kre8yve" idiots won't ever ruin the name with dumb spellings, or by thinking it's fine for girls (it's not.)

My impression is a careful one. While looking at the top of the page I noticed ITALIAN is not mentioned. In fact, it is the MOST popular to Italians out of all the ethnicities listed. One must be careful when listing the origins of the name. Most people in America, including myself (Vincent Mascaro), are Italian that use this name. One of the many misconceptions is that articles like this forget that, while most names are anglicized. That being said, stating "Vincent" origin as the listed ethnicities is not necessarily correct.
My parents are examples of naming me VINCENT instead of VINCENZO, which is the same exact name. My parents chose not to use VINCENZO (because I live in America not Italy), but this would have fooled you into thinking I must be something else.
I have researched this countless times in my life and this is one of the only interpretations to leave out the ethnicity that uses the name the most, Italians.

Love this name, this was my godfather's name. He passed away last year. This is genuinely a cool name! I like how it's old-fashioned and not common anymore. It's a very common name for Italians as well. I'm part Italian and there are a lot of Vincents on that side.

A lot of the Italian boys at my school are named some variant of Vincent, so I hear it a lot. I like it- not a lot or anything, but it's a masculine, classic name. Most of the Vincents I know go by Vinnie. There's one Vincent I know who goes by Vince, Vinnie and Vin. I like Vin the best, so I call him Vin.

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'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 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.

To the user Lemonana who said βthere are also little girls named Vincent on 6/25/2007, I know what you mean. I think this name can be used for girls despite no historical feminine usage and it might have a feminine form. I think this would be a unique name for a girl. But traditionally, I think it would be better for a boy. Iβm not claiming boy names on girls, itβs these users who inspire me with their unisex spirit. If I ever did name a girl Vincent, it would be cute, but I would go with a feminine middle name so sheβs a girl. Teen moms inspired me to like boy names on girls, but I still love feminine names too!
