okay for a boy?

demelzacat · April 2013

Do you think that Quinn has become too much of a girl's name? I'm expecting a boy and really like the name, but I don't want to give my boy a girl's name. Thanks!

I have know both boy and girl Quinns.

I have only known a boy Quinn, so it's still all boy to me! I like it.

Meh, I would give him a full name to fall back on like Quincy or Quinton just in case there's a ton of girl Quinn's.

I think it's a fine boy's name too

I had this name on my list for our boy. When I presented it here a few months ago, most thought that it had gone to the girls or sounded too feminine. I didn't want to take the chance, so I struck it from my list. It's hard these days. Too many good boys names are being taken.

I know a two year old Quinn that's a boy. Unfortunately it seems like a unisex name these days but I like it. I agree with previous posts that Quinton is a good fn to have the nn Quinn.

I adore Quinn for a boy but understand the issue.

...but I keep it on my boys list. I think it's darling for a boy and grows to fit an adult.

too much of a last name for either sex

My DH has an Uncle Quinn so I see has a male name but I know it's becoming popular for girls. Damn Glee!

I think you can use it for either one. Like Jamie. I personally hate names that could be either sex, but that's your decision to make.

I've only ever known girl Quinns so that is how I think of it. If I saw it written on a resume I'd think girl....

Mommamissyp · April 2013

I was thinking Quinton as well.

strawberrytree · April 2013

I only know boys named Quinn IRL, so yes, I think it definitely still works for a boy.

PS, I loooove the name Demelza!

My step-brother is named Quinn. I only sorta-kinda like the name in the first place I personally don't like it on girls at all. I think of it as only a boy name.

Thank you all so much for responding. This is so helpful.

I think it's fine but I prefer it as a NN for Quinton.

Bexx24 · May 2013

I think it's definitely in the gender neutral category, but still acceptable for a boy. I don't like the name Quinton at all though, although Quincy is kinda cool. I'd pair Quinn with a strong masculine middle name as a standby. Quinn Robert or something.

I think it is all boy.
