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

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.
