Quinn

[brads88]

What are people's thoughts on this name? For a boy or girl?

Quim sounds like a ye olde worlde terms. 'Fair maiden, what a fragrant quim thou hast'.

Is it still widely used?

Quim sounds like a ye olde worlde terms

that's true.. it does tbh

I like it for a girl. Don't like ot for a boy.

I’m south east, I’ve heard of quim but it’s not used down here & I would never make that connection.

Love it for a boy!

It sounds very masculine like Flynn or Finn.

@Kaboodler, me too. The Quinn family near me are a bunch of try-hard, wannabe gangsters! It’s not a name I’d want to be associated with! 😂

BUT!!! As a first name.... I don’t know, maybe it is a bit American sounding, but I don’t absolutely hate it. I like nicknamey names, so this kind of fits the bill 😊

Quim is a well-known course slang term that I, at 37 and down South, am familiar with. No one uses it for anything other than slang reference to women’s genitals, it’s not a medical term!

I'm from SE England and in my twenties. Can honestly say I've never heard the word 'quim' in my life

Quinn sounds very much a boy's name to me. Never heard it for a girl before. I suppose it could be used for both, but sounds very masculine.

PS. I first heard the term 'quim' on one of the Thor/Avenger's films. Loki calls Black Widow by this name/insult. Had to look it up, having never heard of it before then!

It's our DS's name so I'm biased. No one has ever made the quim comment, at least not to us. He loves his name as do we. We've only ever met one other Quinn IRL (male, grown up, very cool).

Love it for both sexes but it's my surname so can't use it 😂😂

I know a Quinn who's full name is Quentin. I like it.

Never heard of quim and doubt any kids would.

I like it :) mostly for a boy, but works for a girl too a la Glee

I like it for girl or boy.

Makes me think of Quinn the Eskimo.

I love it, it was our boy name and we called the bump it but towards the end DH went off it as he is Irish and as it’s such a common surname there he felt it’d be weird when he went home. I was a bit gutted and still love it. I feel it’s very noble and manly sounding, like ‘Quinn came in and saved the day again’ - somehow!! When I lived in Manchester years ago I heard the word quim but I’ve never heard anyone say it in Scotland.

I think it was used (much) more often for boys last year in the UK.

@Twisique that's exactly why our DS got the name - the name was on my list (DH had veto'd), but he looked like a smooshed up little Eskimo when he was born.

Quim here too, I wouldn’t

Made me think of quim

Me too. I think it’s awful especially for a girl, plus it’s a surname.

Reminds me of Quinn from Homeland (though it was really his surname), so I think of it as more of a boy's name.

LOVE the name Quinn for a girl I really do but DH isn't sure about it. Base my feeling for girls name on Harley Quinn and Quinn from Glee ❤️

I don't like it at all for a boy, sorry. It's ok for a girl.

I really like it for a boy - makes me think of Quinn from Homeland, who I absolutely loved!
