Quentin or Isaac?

[Loocy1103]

Just that really

Our Quentin has a brother called Reuben. I don't really like Tarquin.

But Cosima is quite nice

I much prefer Quentin.

Quentin is normally the fifth child (it means 5). Just saying.

It could also mean the 5th addition to the family, or the one born in the 5th Month, or it could just be used because its a great name! Lots of names have meanings, but most people don't care (e.g. to harry means to harass, Cecilia means blind, Claudia lame etc...) In other words, I wouldn't worry too much about a name's meaning!

Isaac is popular but rightly so as it's a very nice name!

Sorry but I find Quentin a bit pompous - Racecardriver has it spot on

Isaac

Quentin is becoming more popular. I know a couple of little ones. None of them are 'pompous' - they're very cute! I like it and prefer it to Isaac.

I also think names change they way they are perceived, as many people on here felt that Sebastian was 'pompous' and it has now become very popular/mainstream. There's a book called Freakonomics that explains this trend very well.

Quentin ( been reading a lot of famous five!)

Quentin. Not keen on Issac.

Love Quentin! I'm not so keen on Issac.

sorry for double post

Isaac

Quentin

I like both. Isaac more so. For me Quentin is extremely class indicative. That may have changed recently.

I like them both but I think Quentin. Isaac is already popular and on the rise (there have been about half a dozen threads on it in the last couple of weeks) and people will misspell it constantly.

Quentin! Clear winner. Blake and Tarantino are both excellent associations

Another vote for Quentin! Very cool and Q is a great initial.

Isaac seems to be tricky to spell for many - I've seen it spelled Izaac, Issac, Isac.

Another consideration is whether one of them works better with your surname?

Isaac

I think it depends how posh you are... Isaac is a regular sort of name but to me Quentin is super posh. I wouldn’t saddle a child with Quentin unless they are going to have the lifestyle to go with it.....

I know quite a few Quentins and they're all lovely and 'normal'. A name does not make you chav or posh!

Also, perceptions on names change and names like Sebastian, Quentin, Henry would all have been considered 'upper class' some years ago, but as they become more widely used, they lose this (outdated) association.

I think Quentin is very cool!

We have a Quentin and we're definitely not 'posh' .
