Quinn for a girl?

I have two girls already, one with a floral name, one with a traditional female Irish name.

Male names for girls aren't normally my thing- but I really like Quinn. I fear my Irish father would be appalled...

It's awful

Loki calls Black Window a "mewling quim" - in Avengers Assemble (2012). It's pretty famous. Josh Whedon talks about the choice to use the word in the director's commentary, there was a hoo-hah at the time about it...

Appalled? Really? You'd be APPALLED?! If I don't like other people's name choices I think "Meh"...and I'm Irish.

I know a Quinn. She is 4. Gorgeous girl, gorgeous name.

LauraChant · 15/04/2016 17:44

I like it. Reminds me of Daria's sister.

hownottofuckup · 15/04/2016 17:43

I like it.

mrsschu · 15/04/2016 17:42

I'm sorry but it's awful. It's an Irish surname not an Irish first name. If you want to go for something Irish there are literally hundreds of more usual and more obscure names which are actually first names to choose from. Please don't call your DC Quinn. I'm sorry but if I were your father I'd be appalled too.

LOVE it!!! Would have loved it for my daughter but DH vetoed it. TBH, kids nowadays won't know the reference with Quim. I think it's a fab, strong name.

Agree with Turbinaria. Too much like Quim.

DiggersRest · 15/04/2016 17:30
