Quinn for a girl?

I have two girls already, one with a floral name, one with a traditional female Irish name.

Male names for girls aren't normally my thing- but I really like Quinn. I fear my Irish father would be appalled...

It's really strange but I love although wouldn't use surnamey names for girls eg
Quinn
Harper
Reily
But I think they're awful for boys, so as They say on BGT. It's a yes from me. It makes me think of Quinn out of Glee

Reminds me of daria!

Beautiful! I love it :-)

Right, more for than against. It is officially 'on the list'.

And I just will have to pray if it is a girl and we name her Quinn she doesn't follow the pattern of my first two and get stuck with slow growing hair that results in frequent boy/girl mix ups Blush

Does this make a difference- I have a VERY Irish surname. Until this second, I hadn't considered them together...I can't decide if it makes it better or worse...possibly better??

We have a very Irish surname too with our Quinn Grin
