What's people's thoughts on the name Quinn? Do you think boy or girl?

Girl. I like it.

Mamacita191 · 29/09/2021 21:09

I think boy

DoofusRick · 29/09/2021 21:10

Quinn written down looks like Quim
That’s all I think when I see the name

chipsandpeas · 29/09/2021 21:10

id say boy only cos i know of a 4yr old boy called Quinn

Flufferty · 29/09/2021 21:14

I'd say boy. It makes me think of Quinn the Eskimo. I don't hate it, but I'm not keen.

This.

ReeseWitherfork · 29/09/2021 21:16

A definite yes from me.

Indigokitten · 29/09/2021 21:16

Boy

ShowOfHands · 29/09/2021 21:17

I think surname or too close to quim.

ReeseWitherfork · 29/09/2021 21:17

Oh and either gender. I always used to think girl (glee I guess, although never watched it much) but know a boy Quinn and it works.

Hellocatshome · 29/09/2021 21:17

I would think girl.

MrsBungle · 29/09/2021 21:17

Boy. I like it.

Pretendingtosmile · 29/09/2021 21:17

I know of a girl Quinn but I think it sounds more like a boy's name

coffeepleeease · 29/09/2021 21:18

I think it's unisex. I personally prefer it for a girl

Dahliadelight · 29/09/2021 21:18

Boy.

Andrewthecharminbumwiper · 29/09/2021 21:18

I quite like it! The Mighty Quinn and Daria's sister are the only references I can think of. I think it could be either boy or girl, it's not established enough as a first name, or similar enough to other names to be one or the other.

WheresYourSnickers · 29/09/2021 21:19

I think girl, and I like it.

loobylou44 · 29/09/2021 21:20

Boy. I know someone with a son called Quinn, he's 13.

mnahmnah · 29/09/2021 21:21

We nearly used Quinn for our boy. Have you heard the Bob Dylan song ‘Quinn the Eskimo’? Love it. Make sure it’s his version though!

AliceMcK · 29/09/2021 21:22

I know a 6yo Quinn but in OZ where I think it’s a more popular boys name.

DramaAlpaca · 29/09/2021 21:22

It's yet another ordinary Irish surname which has been appropriated as a first name.

As a first name, it's odd on a boy and awful on a girl.

GaraMedouar · 29/09/2021 21:22

Too close to ‘quim’

MissBPotter · 29/09/2021 21:23

Not great for a boy but particularly bad for a girl. Surname.

kitcat15 · 29/09/2021 21:23

It sounds like an American 'mean girls' name .... not for me....only as a surname
