What do we think of Quincy for a boy?? Is it too posh?

I like it. Quin is a cute nickname.

Yep, I think of the disease. Lanced my throat they did

Quinsy is a disease.

Quincy is an old, fairly prestigious surname in the USA; John Quincy Adams (an early president) is the biggest example I can think of. Dorothy Q Thomas, a human rights activist, is another one, less famous but more current.

Not sure it works as a first name outside that context - would imagine most people think of the TV show.

One of my best friends is called Quincy and he is absolutely lovely, so on that basis, I love it! I am quite clearly biased though.

I think the disease is quinsey.

It doesn't sound common, and I think it can be a first name.

Isn't it a disease?!

Is is 'common' sounding or interesting?

My friend said it's a surname... do you think it's usable as a FN?

I don't think it's posh.

I'd still associate it with the medical examiner, though, which together with Quincy Jones makes it quite an American name to me.
