Would you make this association?

We have a son, Aiden and are having another little boy and are having a majorly hard time naming him.  I have a name I like but I feel like the sibset will get the side eye.  I won't give the details because I want to know your first reactions:  Quinn

Like Aiden Quinn, the actor?  I have friends that named one child Joe and one Montana.  I did kind of side-eye that.

Manderlin923

Um, yep.

Damn you, Aidan Quinn *shakes fist*

I have no idea... But if it is an actor I'm no help.

==N==

I dont know who Aidan Quinn is so I didnt make the connection. I really love Quinn though!

kmwills

Before reading other responses, I thought of the actor, too.  Sorry.  To be honest, I'm not quite sure who he is, but I know the name.

It doesn't bother me much. I know the actor's name, but he's not a megastar or icon, so I think it's fine. Aidan and Quinn make a nice sibset. I think it will just depend on whether you will find it super annoying when people notice.

sweetie645

I don't think I've ever heard of that actor, so I did not make the association.  I would not let that stop you from using the name you want. 

baby oh baby

Same here.

-auntie-:

yeah- especially when you're calling after them at the playground.

What if I make a concerted effort to yell Quinn and THEN Aiden? :-p 

nlscroggins

i made the association, but there are probably lots of people that wouldnt. the name quinn is lovely- i'd still use it! 

serena07

Don't know Aiden Quinn. Like Quinn though. But not together. And Quinn for a girl. Maybe because of Glee.

EastCoastBride

Yes, I make the association.  But you can try to avoid it by introducing them in reverse age order!

tmrchi

I know somebody in real life with that sibset and never thought about the actor.

LemonBlush

I've never heard of Aiden Quinn. I'd use Quinn still , I like it.

kayjay10

I recognize the name, but not exactly sure who the actor is.  So he must not be largely famous.  I would definitely use it and introduce them in reverse order.

giraffe54

I'm old enough to make the connection right away but I wouldn't side eye and the actor isn't really famous enough anymore to make this a problem, IMO. 

Zimger

I know there is an actor. I honestly wouldn't let it bother me. I love the name Quinn. I'm sad that it is more popular for girls now than boys.

This.

This! Maybe if the actor reference really bothers you, Quentin?

Ladiebug710

Its ok for a boy, but I prefer it for a girl.

This exactly. I thought of the actor immediately. Although I have no idea who he is or what he has been in. I can't even picture his face.

I do love the names though, but not together.

Hahahaha! This is very 'Walker' and 'Texas Ranger' to me...

kje120

I'd think of the actor, sorry.

cole2144

Considering I love Legends of the Fall, I would definitely make the association.

MrsG0074

I think of the actor too.  It kinda made me giggle, thinking of someone yelling "Aiden Quinn" at the playground, but I wouldn't let it stop you from picking the name.  I love Aiden Quinn, but don't think he's famous enough that people would think anything of it.

lisa5201

I wouldn't do it. Def immediately think of Aiden Quinn

GettinNervous

I would not make the connection, because I don't know who he is.

mjune3881

No idea who that is! 

Liz4444

I immediately thought of the actor.

ChristyML

I have no idea who Aiden Quinn is. I even Googled him and I still have no idea who he is.

ETA: I wonder if less and less people know who he is since most of his movies/tv portrayals were years ago...I think you'd be okay with not that many people associating the names.
