I'm still ttc dc3 so plenty of time yet but can't help think of names. What do you think of Quinn? For either girl or boy?

My 10 year old GIRL is Quinn and completely suits her.

Love it... Definitely a girls name for me... (Glee fan)

No, way too banal.

What about Super Quinn Grin

I only know boys named Quinn, sometimes short for Quentin. I like it.

But I don't find it feminine at all, so definitely a boys name for me.

It's too close to Quim (especially if you have uneven handwriting) for me to like it. Though it might work on a boy.

I quite like it as a boys name, not sure about a girl though.

I'd be worried the child would be teased and called Quim.

I went to school with a girl whose surname was Quinn and she was called that. Not nice.

I have a girl Quinn! Love it!

hawkmcqueen · 12/01/2014 20:23

I just think of it as a surname and haven't met one in RL. It could quite possibly be cool?

BEEwitched · 12/01/2014 20:13

I like it for both genders but prefer it for a girl.

CajaDeLaMemoria · 12/01/2014 19:58

It reminds me of Mad Dogs.

So it's a man's name, to me, and I don't like it because the character wound me up a bit.

I love it, for both sex and it's not to common.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/01/2014 19:37

Dislike it for a boy but detest it for a girl. Sorry.

Mutteroo · 12/01/2014 19:27

Cool name. Suits either sex & not a common place name.

TwatWeevil · 12/01/2014 19:23

I really like it, for either girl or boy, but then I used to know a lovely American (man) with the name so have positive connotations!
