Quentin is great! The siblings of the Quentins we know include Anna, Katie (Katharine), Reuben and Sebastian.

Quentin reminds me of the lovely illustrator Quentin Blake (or Tarantino) - good associations imo. Great underused classic!

How about these for siblings
Isabella
Charlotte
Anya

Tobias
Magnus
Nathan

But I think most names will go with Quentin, so just choose a name YOU love.

I like Quentin.

I know a few whose siblings names range from Edward, Charlie, Sophia to Aurelia, but think that most names would go.

Are you thinking of calling a future child this? Or do you have one and are looking for ideas for his new sibling? Confused

Trying to (sic) hard to do what?

It's my best friend's brother's name, he goes by the nickname Q, which is very cute for a little one and cool for an older boy, too.

I like Quentin - sounds cool and classic. Perhaps a little old fashioned, old manish, but think that a lot of these old names tend to come back into fashion. It's unusual and not overly common but not completely out-there.

If you already have a Quentin, then why not just choose another name you love - I don't think names need to 'match'.

Yes, we do already have a Quentin but I didn't make that clear in the OP as wanted honest views (just curious really as we never asked for the Mumsnet verdict before naming him), also we'd like to give him a brother or sister one day so was musing over names :-)

Really like Quentin! Seems to becoming more popular, along with other 'old' names Arthur, Stanley etc.

I like it. Think most names would go with it, especially classic, traditional ones.

We know a little Quentin. I like it.

How about Arthur, Hugo, Felix, Florence, Clara as sibling names?

Oh, and most names would 'go' with it. What names are you thinking of, op?
