DH loves it. What do you think?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

annasophia · 12/05/2009 20:56

Wally, on the whole very positive (especially amongst the older generation ). We've never had any mis-spellings or mis-pronounciations either. Ds2 is now 6 and really likes his name! He is still the only one in his school.

Knax, I much prefer Jonty to Quentin!

nooki · 13/05/2009 09:50

I knew a very handsome Quentin at Uni - he was universally known as 'Q'.

savoycabbage · 13/05/2009 09:53

Totally and utterly love it.

WinkyWinkola · 13/05/2009 10:01

It makes me think of a weedy, fey man who likes to wear fair isle sweaters. I like fair isle mind so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

I like Quincy better. Quincy Jones - super cool.

mayanna123 · 13/05/2009 14:13

I think its cute.

MrsMattie · 13/05/2009 16:04

It's one of my absolute worst names (Crispin is up there, too). All the Quentins I have ever known have been skinny, unattractive tosspots. That may have coloured my view...

Quincy is cool@Winky

annasmami · 13/05/2009 18:01

MrsMattie, you haven't met my ds yet - he is the most gorgeous, blue eyed, blond haired boy around (not that I'm biased, of course...)

Never ever heard of Crispin before - reminds me of crisp bread... not a name I could even imagine for a boy!

My son is called Quentin and everybody loves his name. People my age think of it as an unusual name but people 20 years older always tell me they used to know a Quentin. An unusual name but will stand the test of time. Beware though people have trouble pronouncing it properly-- you will get Quintin a lot and Quenton!!!!

I love the name Quentin - classic, cool but not overused.

Reminds me of Quentin Blake more than Quentin Tarantino. But neither are 'negative', are they?

StellaNova · 11/01/2013 10:36

For me it is and will always be Uncle Quentin from the Famous Five.

But that's just me

mumoftoomany · 11/01/2013 11:16

I like it. There's one in ds's class who's a lovely boy. Seems to be getting more popular.

Floogel · 11/01/2013 11:19

It's very camp
Sorry

bigbluebump · 11/01/2013 11:30

I'm biased as our ds2 is Quentin , but he's most certainly not 'camp' (whatever you mean with that...). I love it as do most people who meet him (unless they're all lying to us ).

AngelsWithSilverWings · 11/01/2013 11:35

I immediately think of Quentin Blake too. Again that's a good thing as he is brilliant! We met him just before Christmas and he was lovely . It's a great name.

evamummy · 11/01/2013 11:39

I like it and would agree that the associations these days (Quentin Blake, Quentin Tarantino) are all very positive. Also, the initial Q is very cool imo.

bootsycollins · 11/01/2013 13:14

Mmmmmm I like it!

squoosh · 11/01/2013 13:22

I think it's really awful. So bad it's almost comedic.

Sorry!

atthewelles · 11/01/2013 13:24

I think its horrible. But I live in Ireland where people would think you were mad if you called your baby that. Maybe in England people are more broad minded when it comes to names.

rachel234 · 11/01/2013 13:56

I'm also biased as our ds is called Quentin. He's 9 and we've only had positive comments. He loves his name and especially the initial Q. Nicknames include Quinn or Quenny. And yes, we're in England (but not in London).
