Quinn?

Thoughts?

DH loves it, I think of Quim!

What images does a lady called Quinn conjure up? I don't think I've ever met one! (Dr Quinn Medicine Woman?!)

Sink? Don't! My autocorrect is mad.

@Fekko "a woman's genitals [vulgar]" says my online dictionary (no accompanying pictures thank goodness).

I quite like Quinn (but it is the name of our very lovely hamster).

Quinn is Daria's little sister in the TV series. She has red hair and is a Queen Bee.

I quite like it. I imagine a strong business minded women with great shoes

chipsandpeas · 31/08/2017 08:15

I know a baby boy Quinn and it suits him

grufallosfriend · 31/08/2017 10:12

Masculine, like Flynn or Finn. I like it for a boy.

MaroonPencil · 31/08/2017 10:17

Yes, I think of Daria's sister too, it was the first time I had heard the name. I like it. DH also brings up the quim connection, but really, if the Avengers can get away with using it in a 12A, I think it's safe to say that hardly anyone knows what it means (apart from most of MN it seems :-D). John means toilet but that doesn't stop people using it!

TheNaze73 · 31/08/2017 10:31

Quim was my first thought too

SindyFishtail · 31/08/2017 10:35

I know a gorgeous little girl called Quinn. Really like it.

I also like Baby Sister Little Girl Grin

RightOnTheEdge · 31/08/2017 10:35

I've never heard of Quim and I'm pretty sure most kids won't have either.

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

Love Quinn, sounds very strong!

dontquotemeondailymail · 31/08/2017 11:22

Is the guy in Homelands called Quinn?

Quinn as a woman's name makes me think of the character in the mockumentary type series UnREAL. Probably not a namesake many would choose.

The name Quinn on its own makes me think of the song The Mighty Quinn (Manfred Mann?)

It's a surname as first name, which always make me assume that it's the mother's maiden name, or at a stretch a grandmother's maiden name perhaps.

Frazzled2207 · 31/08/2017 11:32

Love it makes me think of Peter Quinn in Homeland

LorLorr2 · 31/08/2017 11:35

Quinn makes me think of Glee. I'd never heard it as a first name until then but it was cute on the character ('cool' cheerleader)

Howaboutthisone · 31/08/2017 11:40

Makes me think of the character in One Tree Hill. I like it.

MeMeMeMe123 · 31/08/2017 11:46

Gorgeous name .... I love it...

SerfTerf · 31/08/2017 11:49

Yes, lovely Rupert Friend springs to mind (yum).

May50 · 31/08/2017 13:52

Yes, immediately I think 'quim'. Real potential for teasing there.

Zvandelle · 31/08/2017 14:13

"When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody jumps for joy" - The Mighty Quinn. What's not to like?!

Bobbins43 · 31/08/2017 16:04

Daria's sister for me...

bigchris · 31/08/2017 16:07

The really pretty cheerleader in glee! I like it, it's unusual where I am for a start

RosieTheRiveting · 31/08/2017 20:25

Is Quim regional? I've never heard of it.
