Brutually honest feedback on Quentin please.

It’s a top contender for our newborn son but I don’t know if it’s too “out there”?

We’ve toyed around with using it as a second middle name but I think it’s too long especially as our eldest three only have one. All our children have Gaelic middles so we’re set on the middle name, Tadhg but we’ve got a few days to think about whether or not we want him to be Zachary Quentin Tadhg or not.

Please please don't choose it if your son is going to state school.

We’re definitely going with Zachary for his first name.

Zachary is definitely the better name! By many, many miles.

I quite like Quentin. It does have a posh vibe, though. Zachary is nice enough, though. Quinn is terrible, so anything but that.

Good choice OP Smile

Makes me think of the Quentyn Martell in the Song of Ice and Fire books. What do you think of Tristan as alternative?

Love it!

I'm biased as we have one, but I love Quentin!

Congrats OP btw!

it's definitely not too out there, I know a few! it's a darling name though, I love it!!

I don't think it's too out there. Seems to be becoming more popular, I know 2 under 10s names Quentin. I like it and Q is a cool initial.
