Quinn?

Thoughts?

DH loves it, I think of Quim!

What images does a lady called Quinn conjure up? I don't think I've ever met one! (Dr Quinn Medicine Woman?!)

I assumed it was for a boy and loved it. Not sure for a girl but I think it would grow on me but I would expect the girl to be feisty, independent and tough for some reason.

I only know boys called Quinn. Sounds masculine like Finn.

No idea what quim is and doubt many youngsters do either.

I think "quim", too.

Literally never heard the word Quim before.

There's a Quinn in one tree hill and she was awesome. I love the name and would use it if DH liked it.

I don't think people are very aware of quim. DP didn't know what it was, I only know due to scrabble 😂

The Mighty Quinn, Dr Quinn and Niall Quinn (if she ever happens to be in the North East) are strong associations for me. I can't quite see it as a first name but, frankly, in a world where Khaleesi is allowed you should go with it if you like it!

'The mighty Quinn' for me too. I'm going to be humming that all night now.

blankface · 29/08/2017 17:52

I'd never use it for a girl, she'd be forever teased by kids calling her quim.

CockPisssPartridge · 29/08/2017 17:45

I love Quinn. It would be on my list for another DD. Or Winter, I really love that name too at the moment.

WhereYouLeftIt · 29/08/2017 17:05

'The Mighty Quinn' was my automatic thought.

I had to google quim, never heard of it before.

What does quim mean?? 🤔

Liadain · 29/08/2017 00:12

Tbqh it's also a very common surname in Ireland so I dislike it for that reason. We have a supermarket here called Superquinn.

There is also a disgraced billionaire called Sean Quinn, who's disliked by pretty much every Irish person.

Liadain · 29/08/2017 00:10

Harley Quinn comes to mind for me!
Or the Glee character, but she'll be forgotten soon enough - if she hasn't already.

SuburbanRhonda · 28/08/2017 23:43

People don't use the word quim much these days so I think it'll be fine.

strong80 · 28/08/2017 23:42

my friends have a baby girl called quinn. i didn't like it to start with but think it's really lovely now.

rainbowterrier · 28/08/2017 23:40

I hear Quim too. Shame, because it's quite a nice name otherwise!

TweeBee · 28/08/2017 23:38

There was a Quinn in Glee. Blind, cheerleader. That's who I think of. But have no strong feelings.
