The People in My Head: Vincent X

Vincent had a problem, he didn't like his name. But he didn't like any other name either. When people would ask him his name he would say he was never given one. His father had always called him Boy, and his mother had always called him Son. Everyone else called him "Hey You". This was not too far from the truth, as there are limited ways of getting the attention of a man who refuses to give out his name. He couldn't explain why he didn't like his name, it just violated his sense of identity. He didn't feel like a Vincent, but no other name felt like it fit him either. So he chose to be nameless, a person undefined by a word.

He never did find a name. Some things defy categorisation.
