Don't want to out self with real name of DD but her younger rels call her Quinna for short. (rhymes with 'dinner' in standard English)

Is this a real name to you? If you saw it written, how would you pronounce it?

It's not a name I've ever heard before but I would have guessed the correct pronunciation.

When I first saw the name, I wanted to say it like quinoa (the trendy rice) said like keen-wah.

That's all I can think of when I read this name. Do you want to call your child trendy rice? (sorry OP)

What about Quinn? I love Quinn.

Quinoa to my ears too

Quinn or Quinnie better!

Definitely too Gwyneth P for me. Quinoa is not a nickname, even if it is pronounced Quinna.
