Dh loves Quentin and, whilst I wasn't sure initially, I'm starting to like it myself. We have a short surname and it would go quite well together. What do you think? Would people assume we're Quentin Tarantino fans? I've heard it mentioned on here increasingly so perhaps it's becoming more popular?

We're thinking
Quentin Alexander
Quentin Charles

to give him a more 'common' middle name in case he doesn't like his first name.

Crispin? Never heard that before - sounds like crisp bread Grin.

But Quentin is very normal imo - think Quentin Tarantino, Quentin Blake, Quentin Willson, Quentin Cooper etc. Nothing camp or posh about them, is there?

One of my least favourite names by far. May be fine if going to a private school.

I think Quentin is fab. I know one aged 12 who is very popular/cool. Don't think it matter what school you go to, zozzle - most kids couldn't care less whether their mates are called Kayden, Quentin or Connor.

My best friend's brother is Quentin, so I've never seen it as too 'out there'.

He is gay, but not in the slightest bit camp - very cool, though.

I like the name - it has substance. :)

Crispin Bonham-Carter? Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejuduce.

We have French friends wih a DS named Quentin but they pronounce it Contan, I much prefer that.
