Quinn - Girl

[Igotthemheavyboobs]

Hi All

Dont want to drag the op out what is the general consensus on the name Quinn for a girl?

Thanks in advance

I like it. Until I asked about it as a name on here about 10 years ago I’d never heard the term quim either.

Great boys name! According to the ONS statistics it's more popular as a boys name.

Never heard of quim either It's spelled and pronounced differently anyway!

Have taught a young girl called Quinn.
Also have known of an older lad called Quinn.

Seems to be very much unisex these days.

Its not really of my choosing but I have heard worse

I had to google 'quim.' Never heard it before and certainly never heard anyone use it. Maybe regional??

Thank you all for your opinions, I must admit I hadn't heard it used for a boy before, I saw it on a top 100 girls list and really loved it.

Had never heard of the Quim term before, am gutted but won't be using the name.

I only heard the work quim in that marvel film where Loki calls ScarJo a 'mewling quim'. Lots of sniggering in the cinema.

When I hear Quinn, I think of the character from Glee.

I knew of the word quim looooong before I came on mumsnet!

But I don't think of quim when I see the name Quinn. Makes me think of Harlequin! I don't really like it though...

No.

I like Quinn.

I like it and it would not make me think of 'quim'

It's a bloody awful name

I looked up 'quim', I'd heard it before but wasn't sure if I was right about the meaning. I was! Well, you wouldn't call your child, "Minge" would you?

Quinn is sort of OK for a boy but not a girl. Quinn the eskimo etc.....maybe. Should be Inuit really.

Why do people have to choose such odd names anyway, there are plenty of good, classic and ordinary names around to choose from which won't cause embarrassment later on.

I like it, good for boys or girls

I like it

I love it!

Awful

Quim.

Also, Dr Quinn Medicine Woman!!!!!!

Daria’s annoying sister, I think?

And Superquinn, Irish supermarkets (rip).

Like it for either sex, but wouldn’t use it personally because... quim.

How about...

Briar
Nell
Scout
Maeve
Cleo
Rue
Willow
Seren
Clover
Piper
Hadley
Wren
Suki
Aster
Indie

Awful. I think quim too.

I like it as a name, it is very American. In terms of Quim I honestly don't think that many people know what that means, it's a very old word and not really used nowadays so I think you'll be safe! All of my four children have very unusual names, my eldest is 18 and it wasn't the thing back then but he loves his name. I really wouldn't ask what people think, if you like it go for it!

I know a girl called Quinn who is 18 months old. Never associated it with Quim. It suits her, and everyone likes it. It feels a bit more strong and independent than your Rosie and Evie's

Really don't like it. I know someone who called their baby this and it certainly hasn't grown on me since.

I like the name but its a baddies name in one of my fave books.

Horrible
