[Opinions] Re: Vincent for a girl?
Why do you hope to name a daughter Vincent as opposed to a son? If you had both a son and a daughter, would you still name the daughter Vincent?I'm curious as to why you think Vincent is unisex or feminine. It has been consistently masculine throughout its history of use, and it sounds very manly. I think Vincent is handsome on a boy, but I don't like any of the nicknames.

Despite the meaning, something about the name Vincent has always seemed very soft to me. Perhaps it's the connection to van Gogh. I don't really think names should be strictly gendered, but this might be because I'm non-binary. My middle name, by birth, is also a boy's name, and my mother originally wanted me to go by it. I've always liked Addison, which is originally a masculine name, for a son. Orpheus is very nice too.
