i think victoria beckhams' sister louise has just had a baby girl called quinn. Unusual but pretty i think.

Quincy is better, nmsaa, but better, especially if you have any american links, or any interest in American History, or...... have ever been to Boston (clutches at straws)

It's too masculine sounding. Go for Quincy.

SirBoobAlot · 31/08/2010 20:21

Glee!

I know a boy called Quinn as well, short for Quentin. I find it very masculine sounding.

Not keen on surnames as first names, sorry. How about Octavia, Penelope, Zara?

superpenguin · 31/08/2010 13:37

sounds like a surname to me, not a first name.

QUIM

ValiumSingleton · 31/08/2010 13:19

It is a sur name. Being Irish I think of Quinn Insurance, SuperQuinn and Quinnsworth. Just too many businesses called Quinn. NOT for a little girl imo

deaddei · 31/08/2010 13:14

Immediately thought of "the mighty" and also Quint in Turn of the Screw.
And Quim.

clarabellarocks · 31/08/2010 13:13

Agree with everyone - know a little boy called it and I don't like it. I does make me think of Dr Quinn Medicine woman and sorry - Quim. Makes me wince when I hear this little boys mum shout his name out.

meadowlarks · 31/08/2010 13:12

I know a man called Quinn, it sounds quite masculine to me so I think it suits boys better. No doubt they'll be a huge rise in it being used for girls though, thanks to Glee.

Bacofoil · 31/08/2010 12:58

yup

quim

polkadottytotty · 31/08/2010 12:56

I quite like it - I teach a boy called Quinn. I was thinking it might have a popularity rise as there is a character in Glee called Quinn (a girl).

HeadingHome · 31/08/2010 12:53

I was thinking about this one.. what's a good middle name then?

nappyaddict · 13/04/2009 12:40

I like it for either sex. Go for it

lazylion · 05/04/2009 21:27

I know one, and she's a girl. Her little sister is called West. They are both very sweet so it makes me like the names although I wouldn't have chosen them myself. Their mum is American so I'm not sure where she got Quinn from (don't think it was the mighty).
You would need a few syllables in your surname to make Quinn sound right I should think.

traceybath · 03/04/2009 17:56

Agree with ihearteastereggs - i childishly always think of 'dr quim - medicine woman'

DSMaryMagdalene · 03/04/2009 17:43

You ain't seen nothing like the mighty...

IheartEASTEREGGS · 03/04/2009 17:36

quim!

RachieB · 03/04/2009 17:35

Ok for a boy

QuinnMallory · 03/04/2009 11:34

I love it!

Gorionine · 03/04/2009 11:21

I know a little boy called Quinn.

PrimulaVeris · 03/04/2009 11:19

Or mistaken for "Queen"
