Quinn

Our little boy is due in about 10 days, still undecided on names. After a long search through a baby book, DH has suggested Quinn. Not 100% sure on this but do not have any other real favourites.

What do you think? Any other suggestions welcome!

Isn't it a girls name?

sorry for my rude message yesterday Sad
Some children were shouting this word out to the fairy godmother in cinderella a year ago though. They were sitting right behind me and were not in their 40's or 50's. TBH I hadn't heard it for a long time but I really would think twice about naming any child a name that could sound like something rude.

But there are far more teaseworthy names that are still used - e.g. Will(y), Benedict (Bendy Dick), Gay boy (Gabriel), and in fact most names can be teased e.g. Smellie Ellie, Silly Billy, etc.

I think Sharon Stone has a Quinn by the way.

We have a Quentin who sometimes gets called Quinn (or Quen, Quenny). We love it!

I like Quinn, I think it's much nicer than Quentin
