Do you like it?

If Walter and Eleanor can do it, why not Vincent.
Walter and Eleanor as names should both die. They’re awful.

what does strong name mean?
It means solid and accepted - gives a feeling of confidence and power. Often a strong name will have a strong meaning. In this case Vincent means “to conquer, victorious”.
+1. Saint Vincent is also a Catholic saint known for charity for the poor.
+2. Patron saint of kindness.
