Quinn?

[Queensparkles]

For a girl, just looking for opinions!

Damn autocorrect. QUINNY.

Quinn is traditionally a boy's name (as a pet form of Quinton) and a couple of recent TV programmes might prove less enduring about which sex usually receives the name than the long-standing use in U.K.

Well Daria was around in the 90s, so not exactly "recent", and it's statistically used more for girls than boys...

Meredith is traditionally a boy's name and surname, but most people aren't going to name their son Meredith.

I think the Quim thing is certainly regional, but it's certainly a consideration-it's the same as why I wouldn't call a girl Pippa. Means nothing in the UK, but if you pop over to, say, Italy....

I like it! :)

We've just called our new rabbit Quinn! He is male and it's short for Tarquin Balthazar - my kids named him! To be honest, for a male the name has grown on me. I don't really like it for a girl.

I love it and really wanted it for my second little lady but I was talked out of it!

No never seen scandal, I remember the girl in glee being called Quinn when I watched that years ago but then I just came across it on a baby name list and I can't get it out of my head! OH hates it though as for quim I've genuinely never heard that, defo not a word that's used in Scotland anyway! Thanks all

I really like it isn't to out there and daft use it, think the last time i heard quim was when i watched the film rob roy and that is set in the 17bloody00s

I actually really like it, makes me think of glee straight away though! That may say more about me than anything though lol

Well if you want to call your daughter a name meaning vagina then go ahead. Let's hope she doesn't ever study any Chaucer at school .
You could call her something else, couldn't you? There's a thought.

It does not mean vagina don't be so medieval ridiculous

I do think "mewling quim" first I'm afraid. Of course I'd never say it, but I think it.

What are the chances of little Quinns peers sniggering in the playground mewlingquim

What's mewlingquim? I'm actually finding this so funny this is defo not a word used in Scotland full stop and certainly not one children would be aware of I've even asked 'older' colleagues and they haven't heard of it either lol

I like it and I've never heard of it being used for your bits!

I hate it, but mainly because I make the association with a really horrible boy, with that name, in my younger son's class. I actually never realised it could be a girl's name - I've only ever heard it used for boys.

It doesn't mean vagina, quim means vagina.

One of DD's friends who's 6 is called Quinn.

It's not to my taste, but it's not terrible.

I'd also say it's more of a girls' name now. As soon as girls start appropriating names, boys tend to rush to stop using them. Well, the parents of girls/boys...

Love it, it's on my name list. Never heard of quim.

I like it.

I'd never heard of 'Quim' until I went to uni to study literature. I don't think it's a word in regular modern usage so i'd forget about that.

To me, Quinn sounds light and clean

There are two Quinns in my DCs school. One a boy and one a girl.

I really like it.
I have never heard of quim

Thanks everyone

I quite like it. I first came across it on One Tree Hill.

I've never heard of quim and I doubt any of your child's peers will have.

I like it for a boy though. First thing I thought of was The Mighty Quinn, that's from years ago though.

I suppose you know everything about everything SuburbanRhonda condescending much.

I love it, and also thought of Scandal. Good luck convincing DP

DP will just need to do what he's told haha I'm glad I'm not the only person who hadn't heard of quim, I even had to google 'chaucer' so as you all can tell I didn't study literature at uni, damn the secrets out LOL
