I totally read it as "Vincente" and didn't even notice there was no n until you pointed it out. Brains are super weird.

I totally get it. The brain's autocorrect has "fixed" my last name (Harwood) for people my entire life. Hardwood, Howard, Hayward... and even stranger modifications.

Fun fact, I can't type hardwood without great effort.
