Quinn?

[Queensparkles]

For a girl, just looking for opinions!

[FoxesSitOnBoxes]

Fine until someone calls her Quim

[Isadora2007]

Yuck

Mind you it's better for a girl than a boy. My (ex)friend has a son called Quinn... I think it's odd.

[HotSince82]

Sorry but I think its awful.

Quim

[Queensparkles]

What does Quim mean?

[MazDazzle]

I know someone locally who's just named their daughter Quinn.

Admittedly, it sounds quite pretty, but quim is the first thing that sprung to my mind, but I doubt the mother is aware of the reference.

[SuburbanRhonda]

Oh bless you, OP

[MazDazzle]

Quim - old fashioned word for female genitalia.

[Queensparkles]

I just googled it haha I've literally NEVER heard that word, think it's an English thing

[pepperpot99]

Quinny is an.old elizabethan term for your vadge. Definitely one to avoid IMO.

[FeralBeryl]

I love it - but yep there's always 'Quim' to consider. But you could say the same about Billy/Willy Annie/Fanny etc.

[SpikeGilesSandwich]

I remember Quinn as Daria's popular and vain little sister, loved the name and still do. I wouldn't think of "Quim", I've barely heard that term and as a PP pointed out, people still call their children William despite Willy being a much more common slightly rude connotation.

[SofiaAmes]

I think it's a lovely name for a boy or a girl.

[SuperBeagle]

I'm in Australia and have never heard of "quim", so Quinn here would be fine.

I like it. Reminds me of the (female) Quinn from One Tree Hill, as well as the Quinn from Daria.

Homeland!!!

[grufallosfriend]

I only know boy Quinns. It sounds so strong and masculine like Finn or Flynn.

Never heard of quim though

[grufallosfriend]

Agree, William (Willy) is much more common and easily teasable. Most kids know Willi but won't have heard of quim.

The Mighty Quinn?

Another Homeland fan here! (Though Quinn was his surname, wasn't it? I think his first name was Peter?...)

[MrsJayy]

Not 1 person is going to call her Quim or Quinny op if you like the name use it.

[usernumbernine]

I think Quinn is a boys name - I only know of it for boys, and I am ancient and therefore think of the song I linked up there - the mighty Quinn.

[MrsJayy]

I have seen a couple of Quinns in Us tv programmes (glee and Scandal) both female.

[ShotsFired]

Watched a lot of Scandal have you, OP? mind you, at least it isn't Olivia

In general, one syllable names always sound very harsh, and adding a Y to soften it ("Quinny"? Ugh) makes them sound infantile.

Bet you can't guess how I know all this...!

[EdithWeston]

Quinn is traditionally a boy's name (as a pet form of Quinton) and a couple of recent TV programmes might prove less enduring about which sex usually receives the name than the long-standing use in U.K.

It's too surname for me. And as pointed out it has a highly unfortunate sound-a-like association.

[usernumbernine]

Quincy is a brand of pram!
