I came on here to warn you that everyone will see your dc's name and think 'quim' I see others have already pointed that out. Have you got a back up name?

I went to primary school with a Quinn, who had a great fondness for wearing his sister's clothes at the slightest opportunity. As such, it is a very feminine name to me, but appreciate others won't have the same connotations.

Good, strong, Celtic name. Means wise, or bright, or intelligent.

Makes a nice to the over popular Finn imo.

I like Quinn a lot. But I know a gorgeous 3 year old little boy named Quinn, so am a little biased .

Agree that Quinn is a (much nicer) alternative to Finn.

I don't strongly dislike it, but it sounds like a supermarket to me. SuperQuinn, Quinnsworth.....

I haven't seen Glee, but if there's a character called Quinn in it then I'd avoid it for that reason. there'll be a glut of Quinns in the next 2 years.
