Quinn or Dolly

[Bostonbullsmumma]

I appreciate they are very different sounding names- What are people's opinions? Quinn potentially for a boy or girl.

Thanks

I only know boys named Quinn. It's similar to Finn or Flynn and very masculine sounding imo. Often a nickname for Quentin.

Dolly is cute for a girl but maybe name her Dolores.

Dorothea - Dolly nickname is fine, but I think Dolly without a stronger name as adult they might not like

Quinn is a boys name to me, short for Quintin

How about Della, nn Dolly?

Quinn is too Quim for me I'm afraid.

Not Dolly! My first association is with a doll (women and girls get objectified enough as it is!) and it also makes me think of "dolly bird"... yuk.

I like Quinn for a boy but not a girl.

What other names are on your shortlist?

Quinn for a girl is brilliant. Dolly is beyond horrendous.

Neither

Quinn is ok when it's typed, but has to be handwritten very carefully to avoid looking like Quim.

Avoid Quim. Think of the handwriting as said above.

Dorothy / Dorothea are lovely

Quinn is skating on the brink of quim I feel.

Back to the drawing board.... thanks all

Quinn can be quite rude sounding in English it sounds like a very rude naughty word, that's the reason I wouldn't use it

What on earth does quim mean? This isn't a term I'm familiar with. Take it it's sex related, so I won't Google!

Quim is slang for vagina. Or vulva. Not sure on the specifics but certainly the female downstairs area

Every day's a school day!

Perhaps I should name change...

Had no idea

I've never heard of quim... but I'm not in the UK.

I'm in the UK and reasonably well read/educated but I had never heard the word "quim" before reading it on MN baby name threads.

Maybe it's a regional or generational thing??

It's in Shakespeare,daaaaahlings!!!!!

I knew a Dolores shortened to Dolly. Quite like it.

I don't think it's a well educated thing!

I always assumed some kind of link with queef. But no idea where it comes from.

Neither of these names for me I'm afraid.

Is it?!! Just seen Bertrands post. Does that make me well educated

Quinn is great, I always liked it back in the 90's when watching Daria.

Dolly on the other hand just makes me think of a cloned sheep, sorry.

Neither.
