Re: Vincent
in reply to a message by Buneary
Vincent is way too frequent and classic to be too associated with Harry Potter. It's like saying Rosalie is too associated with Twilight.
I like it. I had it on my list for my son for a while. It's very masculine but not thuggish. I guess it has a slight air of roguishness or sinister-ness, maybe from the sounds in it - but not nearly enough to make it seem too dramatic on a real guy. Just enough to give it a memorable character. The only problem with using it is that the appeal of Vince, Vinny, and Vin is rather less. But I'd be okay with Vin, and anyway I don't think Vincent would very often seem so stiff that it needed a more familiar form.
