Calling a baby Quentin!

[kitsmummy]

Ooookkkkay, so my friend's going to call her little boy Quentin! She knows I hate it but I know she hates my chosen baby name and neither of us care, we both find it quite funny. Is anyone out there a fan of Quentin? Or do you think slightly weirdo 50 year old who wears a mismatch of tweed and mustard cord trousers?

Quintin (or however you spell it) - vile beyond belief.

The obvious point of reference is Quentin Crisp, 70s gay icon and many other things besides.

I think Quentin is fab

i like Quentin think its fab

Sorry but not mad on Woody - its 'sweet' but a few too many around for me

also Woody is sooo Zoe Ball - isn't her dh called Quentin?

mr zoe ball

real name is Quentin!

i love both names.i know a quinn-not sure if hes a quentin.

fatboy slim

nope, his real name is quentin

he is

oh bum too late!

err no

why would you change your name from Quentin to norman though?

whats wrong with me tonight?im soooooo slow!

why do you think? lol

he was in a a gritty northern political band - quentin doesn't quite cut the mustard

lol at woody 'get wood'

in the last few years I've met an amazing Quentin - buff, frighteningly clever and an uberdad. If you like it, great. I do think it takes some living up to though.

kitsmummy, you're not going to print the thread off and show it to your friend, are you?

I do not really think it appropriate unless he is your fifth child as it is from the Latin for fifth. But who cares about that, my dh's name means Brave in Battle or something like that and he's never been into battle.

Quentin - NOOOOOOOO!!

Woody - cute when tiny but would sound a bit daft when in his teen years on the pull!
