Quinn

[LoosingBattle]

for a girl? I am the only one never to have heard this name before?

Met a gorgeous baby Quinn today, and love the name. Firm contender if I have another girl. Is it Irish?

I have never heard or read the word quim either.... perhaps it is a regional thing. Here, I doubt kids would know the meaning either. Certainly the Quinn I know (aged 10) has never been teased about it.

I'm Scottish and Quim-face was used as a playground insult

Btw, I don't think they would get teased, I have Quinn in my name and have never been teased for it.

Dude, NO.

Quinn O'Begorrah. Sound Paddywhackerish enough for me:)

It's a surname. Awful mas a given name. And yes, the poor recipient would become known as Quim.
And numbertaker Quim Trim from an old Viz spoof advert.

DOn't do it. Too much like quim and it's a character in Glee.

It has been used as a shortened form of Harlequin as well

Makes me think of quim (Chaucer)

but mainly makes me sing
"come on without, come on within, you ain't seen nothing like the Mighty Quinn"

I know a 1yo girl called Quinn. I think it's lovely. Iv never heard/read quim till right now.

Daria's sister from the (eponymous) '90s cartoon was called Quinn.

I just wouldn't want to risk them being called Quim. I thought it was a well known term as well.

In the past 8 months I've heard of two babies being born called Quinn. Ones a boy the others a girl so I have no clue if its male or female. Never heard of quim and I an reluctant to google!

Not a boy's name, not a girl's name. A surname. And a pretty common Irish surname at that too.

After a careful days research only 2 out of friends/family/work colleagues had heard the term Quim (worryingly one of them was my mother). However no one liked the name Quinn for a girl! So thats that!! Feel sorry for the little Quinn I met yesterday now!

quim is an old word for female genitalia I believe it comes from the Welsh cwm which means valley......

I met a baby girl named Quinn, and though I said politely "What an unusual name" inside I was thinking "How could you do that to a child! It's too close to Quim!"

(Although, personally, I like quim as a name for vagina; it's got a sort of Victorian ambience to it)
