Thoughts on Quinn

[DOOOSH444]

Do you like the name Quinn for a girl?

Quinn Anne

A mainstream name is far less likely to have an unfortunate association noted or commentent on than a newer one (especially when it's still not fully transitioned from surname to male name, let alone female)

Quinn ifs far to masculine/surnamey for me to consider for a girl. But OP clearly has different taste in names. But even so, the difference between Quinn and Queen (especially in hurried speech) is tiny, so I would swerve names of actual queens in the middle.

I don't like it but if you do go for it.

I tried to sneak it past DH... claimed it was from the Glee character but he rumbled me trying to pay homage to the great Niall Quinn straight away!

Boys name imo

I thought it was a joke, sorry. It sounds like Queen Anne.

The name Quinn is lovely but I agree that with the middle name Anne it sounds too abrupt, I would choose a longer middle name to help it flow. But if the name of Anne is important to you how often do middle names get said really 😄

Also... I have never heard of the word Quim before!! Had to google it to see what it means.. so depending on your area etc I wouldn't worry about that as I've definitely never come across that word before

Never heard of quim either before, don't think it's an issue at all amongst kids today.

I like Quinn for a boy but not a girl. Quinn Anne doesn’t flow and just seems wrong, sorry!

I love Quinn. Amazing name.

It’s doesnt go with Anne. You need a longer middle name.

Anne goes fine with Quinn, I honestly don’t see a problem. But it’s all moot anyway as the OP has been turned off the name by the weird Mumsnet hive-mind that hears Quinn and thinks quim.

Both names fine but not together

Quim is very old-fashioned and not a term widely used now. At least it is not used as an insult. You would need to be brave to call a son Cnut nowadays, though it may be popular in Norway.

I know a Quinn - she is my son's best friend, and she is awesome. I love her name and it suits her totally. Quite a few Quinns around, if you look for them here. Just for clarity - I am in the US, and it is definitely a girl's name.

"Quim."

Don't like it, sorry.

And Quinn Anne---I am sorry, are you serious? This is really really weird sounding (strange rhythm AND it sounds like Queen Anne, who is already a well known historical figures and will become even better known from the end of this year when "The Favourite" comes out).

Terrible for a girl. Not keen for a boy tbh but it's passable.

Agree, too masculine for a girl. Finn, Flynn and Quinn sound strong and manly to my ears.

(never heard of quim...)

Agree that ‘quim’ is a problem. Okay, it is not in current common usage but these type of words come back in every so often. Anne or a variant (Annabelle, Anna, Anya, Annika) is by far a better name.

I like Quinn for a girl. I'm a big fan of unisex names in general for girls, no idea why.

Quinn is a lovely name :)

Quinn for a boy def a yes.

For a girl it could be cool.

But Quinn Anne? People will mock you. Sorry.
