Vincent, Salvador

I think SO and I have made the decision to leave girl names alone until we meet LO. However, due to conflicting ultrasounds (we're fairly sure it's a girl due to a subsequent u/s, but our intial anatomy scan tech did say it's a boy), I would like to have a boy name should there be a switcheroo scenario.

Do you prefer:

Vincent Salvador

Salvador Vincent

 

Vincent is the name of my great-grandfather, and Salvador is the name of SO's grandfather. I also like the Vincent van Gogh/Salvador Dali connection (I'm not sure if that's too cheesy or ridiculous, but at least both are family names). 

If you think both options are lame, I'm open to suggestions. Again, this is just a Plan B scenario to begin with, so I'm not really stressing about it (it wouldn't even be on my mind if it weren't for the anatomy scan).

I prefer the spelling Salvatore (my grandpa) to Salvador but Salvador Vincent flows nicer than vice versa.

I love these names! Either combo is fantastic! I think I'd be personally learning toward Vincent Salvador.

They both work great, but I really love Salvador as a fn. The nn Sal is the sh!t.

I think Vincent Salvador has a better flow, but I prefer Salvador over Vincent as a first name.  Very helpful, I know.

I prefer Salvatore too, but SO's grandfather was from Spain. Thus, it's spelled the Spanish way instead of the Italian way.

I like the name Vincent a little better, but Salvador Vincent flows better.

I prefer Vincent as a fn, but if you plan on using nn, like pp Sal is an adorable one.  Vinny.. not my favorite.

These names are NMS but Vincent Salvador sounds better.

I think Vincent is more appropriate as a first name
