I really like Quinn for a girl, what do you think?

I like this, I think its the fact that it begins with a Q, makes it interesting

Phoenix · 03/04/2009 11:06

It's my maiden name so not keen on it as a first name

Amarilis · 03/04/2009 11:09

Sounds too much like'Quim'.... Not good!

thell · 03/04/2009 11:16

Yes, I thought the same

Phoenix · 03/04/2009 11:19

I thought it was a boys name anyway.

TsarChasm · 03/04/2009 11:19

Not too sure if I like it. I'm thinking Mighty Quinn. That's going to be in my head all day now!

PrimulaVeris · 03/04/2009 11:19

Or mistaken for "Queen"

Gorionine · 03/04/2009 11:21

I know a little boy called Quinn.

QuinnMallory · 03/04/2009 11:34

I love it!

RachieB · 03/04/2009 17:35

Ok for a boy

IheartEASTEREGGS · 03/04/2009 17:36

quim!

DSMaryMagdalene · 03/04/2009 17:43

You ain't seen nothing like the mighty...

traceybath · 03/04/2009 17:56

Agree with ihearteastereggs - i childishly always think of 'dr quim - medicine woman'

lazylion · 05/04/2009 21:27

I know one, and she's a girl. Her little sister is called West. They are both very sweet so it makes me like the names although I wouldn't have chosen them myself. Their mum is American so I'm not sure where she got Quinn from (don't think it was the mighty).
You would need a few syllables in your surname to make Quinn sound right I should think.

nappyaddict · 13/04/2009 12:40

I like it for either sex. Go for it

HeadingHome · 31/08/2010 12:53

I was thinking about this one.. what's a good middle name then?

polkadottytotty · 31/08/2010 12:56

I quite like it - I teach a boy called Quinn. I was thinking it might have a popularity rise as there is a character in Glee called Quinn (a girl).

Bacofoil · 31/08/2010 12:58

yup

quim

meadowlarks · 31/08/2010 13:12

I know a man called Quinn, it sounds quite masculine to me so I think it suits boys better. No doubt they'll be a huge rise in it being used for girls though, thanks to Glee.

clarabellarocks · 31/08/2010 13:13

Agree with everyone - know a little boy called it and I don't like it. I does make me think of Dr Quinn Medicine woman and sorry - Quim. Makes me wince when I hear this little boys mum shout his name out.

deaddei · 31/08/2010 13:14

Immediately thought of "the mighty" and also Quint in Turn of the Screw.
And Quim.

ValiumSingleton · 31/08/2010 13:19

It is a sur name. Being Irish I think of Quinn Insurance, SuperQuinn and Quinnsworth. Just too many businesses called Quinn. NOT for a little girl imo

MamaLazarou · 31/08/2010 13:32

QUIM

sounds like a surname to me, not a first name.
