Quinn?

[whenyouknowyouknow00]

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

Boy. There was a character in Homeland called Quinn. (It was his surname, though.)

I know a boy named Quinlan, Quin for short. Lovely name.

I know a boy Quinn (13) and a girl called Quinn (4). Both sets of parents are the pretentious type. Name is unisex and a pretty rubbish name IMO.

Love I think it's fairly unisex but I prefer it for a girl.

Girl. Sounds like quim.

I don't like surname type names but agree with PPs, I see Quim when it is written so either boy or girl would likely suffer teasing due to this.

I think of Harley Quinn

I used to think of Quinn from One Tree Hill but I know a boy Quinn and it suits him so I wouldn’t automatically assume now if I saw it written down.

I like it for both. I don’t think the word quim is widely used anymore and there are loads of surnames that are used as a first name (Irish or otherwise) so I wouldn’t let that put me off if I liked a name.

I think girl, but only because of the character on Glee...

I only think surname, sorry OP.

I'd say unisex. That was one of the reasons we chose it for one of our Baby's because we never knew the sex

I love Quinn for a girl 😊

I also think girl because of Glee. I’ve never met or heard of another Quinn as a first name. I don’t really like it, it’s not my taste.

I love it for a girl. I'd go with Quinton for a boy.

It's unisex because it's a surname, not a first name.

There's a girl in my sons class with her name spelled 'Quinne'. I think it's lovely!

I know a boy and girl Quinn. I think I like it.

We have a Quinn. It seemed more socially acceptable than calling him no 5. Only joking. We love it. Tbh most people do we know.

I also know a girl Quinn and another male Quinn.

You’ll get it mistaken for Finn lots.

@mnahmnah

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!

Yes this!!! Mighty Quinn.

I only know boys called Quinn. It's strong sounding like Finn or Flynn.

I think it's also a popular nickname for Quentin

I've never heard of quim - do children nowadays really use this expression ?

Surname or dog’s name.

Super name.
Quinn is an Irish given name from "cuing" meaning "champion".
I love it as a boy's name and like the idea of spelling it Quinne for a girl.
Cuinche is a rare Early Irish given name for a girl. Pronounced "Quinya" with a h snuck in there along with the consonantal y.

They probably didn't but then Loki used it as an insult in Avengers Assemble, "mewling quim" to be precise and my primary aged child and all his friends were introduced to it as a term.

Girls name, first one that springs to mind is Barney's stripper girlfriend in How I Met Your Mother.
