I have an Oscar and a Saffi and now we have a baby boy who we need to name and we're really struggling.

We literally have days to name and register him!

Considerations are
Tobin
Jacob
Quinn

What do you think and any other considerations please

Quinn goes nicely with those names.

Congratulations OP.
I agree that Quinn goes really well with your other children's names.

Tobin was on my list - love it! Had a DD though.

I associate Quinn with being a girls name (even though it probably is unisex)

Jacob is a bit bland IMO, sorry, especially in comparison to your other DC's names.

On that basis, it's definitely Tobin for me.

Jacob and Quinn are nice. But - sorry for the negative image - Tobin instantly brought to mind the convicted serial murderer with that surname.

I like Quinn, Tobin for me makes me think of Peter Tobin (sorry)

Don't like Tobin for the same reason as PP. Jacob's nice though.

Another one who thinks of Quinn as a girls' name. Jacob is nice.

We met a boy Quinn recently. I just kept thinking "quim", but that's probably just me.

I'd pick Tobin, as I think of Quinn as a girl's name.

Tobin makes me think of Peter Tobin, Quinn is lovely tho. I love Saffi, what a lovely name.

Jacob.

I would feel that Quinn was a surname. Unless Finn ?

Jacob, not keen on the others.

Thank you everyone. I didn't know who Peter Tobin was so Google him and he's dead! It doesn't put me off name.
I did wonder if quinn to girly so interesting a few thought the same.
And Jacob my hubby likes but I'm really not keen on him being called jake for short!

Quinn! I think that's a lovely name and goes well with his siblings.

Oh no, not Quinn, that's far too similar to quim!Shock

Jacob is nice.

Peter Tobin is alive and currently serving three life sentences. A very evil man and the name Tobin immediately brings him to mind for me and many others I should think

Quinn is nice

I love Quinn! Makes me think of the Bob Dylan song Smile.

Tobin is lovely. Jacob is a bit overused. Quinn is too much like Quim.

Tobin is cool. Never heard of Peter Tobin. Wouldn't be bothered about it if I were you.

And Quinn sounds like a boy's name to me.

But so is Oscar petoriois and I have an Oscar. I didn't know what quim was till I Google it!Shock

Quinn goes well with other children's names. I also thought of the serial killer so would def avoid Tobin! Jacob is nice but not very exciting.
