Quincy

[milliemoan]

What do we think of Quincy for a boy?? Is it too posh?

[mayanna123]

I love Quinn. Why not just use that?

If you insist on a full name, I'd also prefer Quentin. Quincy is too close to the fruit quince.

Piglet, all the Quentins I know (including my nephew) are very masculine . But I was referring to the name, not a specific person you may know. I find the incy ending of Quincy more feminine sounding than the tin of Quentin.

I have a huge oil painting of Quincy ME in my living room.

[PigletJohn]

Quentin Crisp wasn't very masculine.

[evamummy]

I quite like it but prefer Quentin - it sounds more masculin than Quincy.

Quinn is a cute nickname for either.

[milliemoan]

Thank you for your opinions. Still dithering on it! I do really like Quinn so may just go for that.

PS the lady is as British as they come.

[A1980]

I like it. For what's it's worth I know a woman named Quincy and I think it's great for either sex.

[Bandwithering]

I don't like it, makes me think of Quincy ME. But I know it was a former American president, so probably doesn't sound so random over there. it's not as bad as Addison or Jackson.

Can you imagine it in the UK though!? Churchill, come inside now! or further back! Gladstone and Disraeli, get in the car now.

[DELHI]

Very American-sounding to me, and a bit 'off-the-telly' IYSWIM

[seeker]

The complete opposite of posh, I would say!

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

I taught a girl called Quincy

[minipie]

I quite like it actually. Think it works best with a one syllable surname.

[Sophiesmummie]

I much prefer Quentin (but I'm biased ) who sometimes gets called Quin or Quen.

[MrsPlugThePlumber]

I think of the fruit. Quince-y. Like Pear-y.

Quinn is lovely, though - or Finn, maybe?

[poppydaisy]

episodes of Quincy - do you mean Quincy Jones?

[JanMorrow]

Quincy for me conjures up afternoons off work sick mindlessly watching episodes of Quincy! Or the fruit quince.

[poppydaisy]

Quincy Jones. I quite like it actually. But prefer Quentin too.

[rachel234]

It's ok but I much prefer Quentin. And love the nickname Quinn.

[SloganLogan]

It sounds like an adjective meaning "like a quince".

[MarioandLuigi]

Makes me think of Quincy ME and Quincy Jones. Also the fruit Quince.

I like Quinn though.

[ShirleyKnot]

damn I thought this was a thread about Quincy ME.

So.

[LetThereBeRock]

It's awful.Fine as a middle name perhaps,but certainly not as a first name.Quinn is much nicer.

Quincey Morris is a total hero in the story of Dracula - he's the one who kills him. Great name and Quin is a good nickname.
