Quintin and

[pixieloux]

Which girls name would you ‘pair up’ with Quintin (NN most probably Quinn), for a twin sister; Beatrix, Cecily, Margot or Penelope?

We want to avoid their names being matchy as much as possible. Our other options are Zachary and Margot (but we won’t pair any of the other girl name options with Zachary due to them rhyming)

Older siblings are Aurora (Rora), Theo(dore) & Violet (Letty) Thank you for all your help - on all my posts... We’re almost there now then you’ll finally be shot of me lol.

Penelope!

Penelope

Margot!!

Beatrix definitely

I like Cecily. As an aside I thought it was Quentin

We’re still undecided on Quintin vs Quentin. Quentin is pronounced Kwen-Tin where as Quintin is Kwin-Tin so the Quinn NN flows more naturally - and that’s what first made us think of the name as we considered it as a MN for Zachary (Quinn)

What about Quinten? You still have the Quinn sound for nn.

I was at uni with a Quinton - makes Quinn as a nn even easier.

And Penelope .

Penelope is lovely what about Persephone or hermione or iris?

I must live in a different world! I don’t know anyone with names like this!

We did consider Persephone and Hermione, @MumUnderTheMoon but these are what we’ve narrowed it down to :)

We’re considering them just to widen your chances, @GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat!

It wasn’t a criticism, I’m interested hence clicking on the thread. Apologies if you were offended.

Not at all, @GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat - I was messing around lol.

Oh good

I have an almost 7 year old Aurora (that was around #700 in the charts here when we named her), I’m used to ‘unusual’ and I’m certainly not offended by it

Cecily, it's one of my absolute favourites.

Also I was at uni with a Cecily and she was lovely.

It's Quentin, pronounced Quin tin.

I like Margot and Cecily from your list.
Or how about Coralie?

I know twins called Quinten and Zachary! South African.

How about Josephine or Isabella?

Quentin is pronounced as Kwen-Tin, @moredoll - like Quentin Blake or Tarantino. I had this debate with my husband the other night and he is right lol. I was originally spelling it Quentin as I prefer the look of it. Right now we’re undecided on which to go for... We like Kwen-Tin but I guess Quinn flows more naturally from Quintin, Quinton, Quinten, etc.

We’ll be choosing from these four girls names... It feels like we’ve already been through every name there is lol.

Would you consider just Quinn (ie not short for anything)? I would assume Quintin is made up/you couldn’t spell Quentin!

I think Quinn and Margot is a lovely pair 😍

We’d like a name we can shorten as all our other children use NNs. Quintin is legitimate but I do prefer Quentin. I think we may just do Quentin, NN Quinn anyway - I think it still works.

I agree, how about just Quinn? I personally don't think it needs to be a shortening of another name.

Plus we do like Quentin/Quintin. It’s traditional but still quite quirky.
