Quinn - boy or girl?

[airwicker]

I've took a love for the name Quinn. It's a unisex name anyway and sometimes I see it in the girls suggestions and sometimes in the boys suggestions on the MN thread.

But is it more of a boys name or a girls name to you? I seem to love it for both and can't decide which one I'd prefer it for!!!

Will Finn also become a girls name ?

Girl x

Used to love it but read that Quinny is Victorian slang for vagina so that put me off 😂

Boy. It's only picking up popularity as a girls name here as America uses it for girls and has some television show with a woman called Quinn in it (not anti American, just pointing out a reason for the increase).

The Quinn I know is a boy

I know one of each. Personally prefer for a boy but I wouldn’t assume either way.

Girl, absolutely.

One Tree Hill, Daria, Glee... all had female Quinns.

I know one of each. Don't like it either way!

Female on Glee, male on Mad Dogs, a friend in RL surname. I personally prefer for a boy

Boy

Girl

To me it sounds very manly like Flynn or Finn.

Quintana sounds feminine

I adore this for a boy or a girl but unfortunately it's my surname now I'm
Married so can't call our kid Quinn Quinn 😂😂

I know 2 boy Quinns. Sounds much more masculine to me.

Awful. Better than Quim though.

In know one, a little girl.

It instantly makes me think of Peter Quinn in Homeland, so it has a 'boy' association for me.

I met one, young Aussie surf instructor - male. Had no idea it could be a girls name.

I had no idea about it being used as a girls name. Must be American. I've also heard Elliot being used as a girls name!

If presume boy

When it's used for men in TV shows, it's usually their surname, isn't it? Like Peter Quinn in Homeland, they call him Quinn because of the whole military thing of using surnames.

So to me it just sounds like a surname, tbh.

But according to names.darkgreener.com/#quinn, it is pretty unisex, although used a little bit more for boys in England and Wales than girls.

In addition to Quinn itself there are lots of Quentins etc called Quinn as short form, so the overall number will be even higher

It's a beautiful unisex name with a youthful vibe in my opinion . Btw if you're interested in looking at some new unique names you can drop me a direct message and I'll be happy to help.

I have a Quentin so would verge more towards it as a boys name. However my colleague had a girl Quinn. I also had another colleague who was a Quintin and his name was shortned to quin.

I automatically assume boy but think it's a great girl name. Quirky and strong 💪
