Vincent

Hero or villain. The former at times, the latter so much more frequently. But never, never, never a dork.

Due to Vincent van Gogh, I think of an artsy man whenever I hear this name. I also knew someone who had this as their last name as well.

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

I am named Vincent, and I never thought of a better name for myself. Imagine trying to tease that name when it literally means, "to conquer?" You can't beat that!

Reminds me of a vampire. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, if you like vampires.

The name Vincent looks very posh, intelligent and even royal in my opinion.

Dull name.

I always think of a fictional villain or at the very least a jerk character whenever I see/hear this name and that’s why I love it, it just has a really cool and edgy vibe to it.

I think Vincent is a very stylish, attractive name.

A very handsome, sophisticated name. Will definitely use it for a son.

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

I really like the name Vincent. It’s cute for a little boy especially with the nickname Vinnie, and it’s 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 don’t like about it tho, is that it’s slightly a little bit close to the words violence and violent.

I love it. I think Vincent is very cool, handsome and a strong name ❤❤.

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.

This sounds like a mafia member name.

Has a steady popularity, somewhere just above average. This name is great. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

I do think this is a great BOY’S name.

I changed my name to this recently and it's really nice. My partner can call me Vinnie and I go by Vin or Vince.

Not my style at all. Although, Vinny is a cute nickname.

Very handsome. If I have a son, I will name him Vincent.

I think it’s a wonderful, handsome name. I love the meaning too.

VERY, VERY handsome name for a boy!

I love Vincent! It’s handsome and it ages well.

Like many commenters, I agree that this name is very handsome and nice.

Sophisticated, handsome and cool. A brilliant name.

Vincent is a wonderful name for a boy and also works well for a man. It will age very nicely. It is a classic name that is very masculine. I love it. I also think Vinny, Vin, and Vince are great nick names.

Matthew and Vincent are my favorite boys names at the moment. Vincent is a wonderful name.

Soo handsome!

This name reminds me of flowers and spring for some reason. I think it's pretty neat. Would like to mention Kim Vincent (aka V, lol)

Sounds quite handsome.

Quite handsome. I don’t like the nickname Vinn(y, ie) but I think Vince would be nice.

In my past comment I put that I didn't like the nickname Vinny, but I actually love it so much now. This name is great.

The only reason I came here is because my name is Vincent, and I always thought it was a weird name to give me cause I'm black and I thought it would it show some black people with the same name as me.

This name is just so edgy and sexy and I love it. It's my favourite name ever.
It becomes even better if the surname is Valentine but you know I'm just a fangirl.

I think this is a beautiful name with a nice edge. It might be because of Vincent Price, but I do think it sounds a bit dark and mysterious, but in a good way.

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 “t” that contributes to the masculine identity. This name is a classic that is not prodigious to make the deductions for it being considered “common” and might offer an air of sophistication to a potential parent of a son named Vincent.

Vincent sounds hypocritical.

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.)

One of my favorite boy names.. So handsome.

I love the sound of this name! I could not use it because of how Christian its history is, but I always picture something positive when I think of a Vincent, though Vince and Vinnie ruin it.

It's a lovely name, although there's nothing Italian about it. The Italian form is Vincenzo.

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.

Even though it's dated I still think Vincent is a cool name.

This sounds like the name of stoic, tough, dark-haired guys in young adulthood or late teens.

I would love to marry someone or name my child Vincent. Vincent Nigel-Murray from Bones, may he rest in peace...

My son is Vincent Christopher and it suits him perfectly. Sweet, strong, thoughtful and creative. I love this name and the fact that people know how to say it when they read it and spell it when they hear it, but that it's not too popular.

I love Vincent. It makes me think of a really cool Italian guy. And plus, it's the real name of my idol Alice Cooper.

I think this name is underrated. It sounds great and has the cool nickname Vince, which sounds like a sporty jock type :) It's ripe for reintroduction and in my opinion it's a classic, cool, smart name.

This reminds me of an Italian guy.

I love this name, Vince for short. Also Vince from The Mighty Boosh, played by Noel Fielding.

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.

A strong, classy and handsome name! :)

In Italian-American Families, a common nick-name for Vincent is "Jimmy".

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 :)

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

This is probably one of my favorite names and has been since I was twelve. I would love to one day give this name to a son.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love this name! I think it sounds very masculine, strong and mature.

I like the nickname Vinny for Vincent. It's cute. :]

This name sounds like a knight in medieval times.

I love this name. It conjures up images of "tall, dark, and handsome" for me.

I love this name. It's a wonderful name!

I like this name, it's very strong and masculine.

The name is outrageous.

Man, wouldn't I like to know why this name's outrageous?! It's a wonderful name.
