Our little boy is due in about 10 days, still undecided on names. After a long search through a baby book, DH has suggested Quinn. Not 100% sure on this but do not have any other real favourites.

What do you think? Any other suggestions welcome!

Yep, there have been quite a few Quinn threads recently, worth doing a search.

Lottie's summary is good.

Ooh, someone else asked the same question about a month ago, you can probably still find it.

To summarise; much gender confusion with a small majority seeing it as better as a boy's name, some dislike of surnames as first names and, look up the word 'quim' in a dictionary - you may not be familiar with it and isn't in common use in spoken English but a lot of people are and their reaction to the name will range from a bit surprised to quite shocked.

I really like it! As long as it flows well with the surname, I think it's lovely! It's nice and unusual - I only know of two, a 2yo and an 18yo, and they both really suit it IMO. I think it's the sort of name that is sweet on a toddler but ages well too.

Ooh v unusual! I like it! Looks really Nice written down. Other ideas: Zola, Reuben, Erasmus if you like something a bit out of the ordinary.

I'd prefer Quinton or Quentin. Quinn by itself looks a bit too much like quim, and I think that might be difficult to live with.
