What do you think of...

the name Quinn?

My sister just had a baby (a boy named Madden) but she didn't know what she was having during the pregnancy, therefore didn't share names either. I curiously asked what her girl names were and Quinn was one of them. They are not having anymore kids so the name is up for grabs and DH & I are TTC.

DH & I really liked the name Quinn for a girl (before she mentioned it) but the people we have told seem to think it's more boyish....what do you think?

The only person I've ever met named Quinn was a girl. It sounds too feminine to be a boy name.?

*megsy* · April 2009

it's not my style (unisex) but it's not as bad as some! I may like it more if it ws paired with a girly mn....like Quinn Elisabeth

I agree CourtneyRDH, I think it is very feminine.

I am glad we are not the only ones who thinks the same.

It's definitley a unisex name now--I know a 4 year old boy named Quinn and some baby girls.

I tend to not like unisex names, but if you do, it's a very nice name.

Thanks meplusone & *megsy*, I never looked at it as unisex, but I guess it makes sense now.

We are not really into middle names (I am, DH doesn't even have one) so I am not sure of one yet, but it goes great with our last name, so I am happy about that. If anything, my Grandmother's name is Rose, so that could be an option.

I guess it could go either way. I knew a male Quinn and I know a baby girl named Quinn.

sprice88 · April 2009

I like it. I've known boys and girls with that name.

shyntrue · April 2009

I think Quinn is unisex. It is a nice name either way!

iluvtom · April 2009

I like it for a girl

GettinNervous · April 2009

I'll pass. Reminds me of that annoying girl on Zoey 101. Not that I watch it or anything . . .

jexxie · April 2009

sounds kind of snobby to me. sorry.

starsmaycollide · April 2009

I like it as a boy name. I knew a Quinn (a guy) in high school. Definitely NMS for a girl. I typically don't like the unisex names for girls.

ToBeMrsT · April 2009

I like Quinn for a boy. I don't like it for a girl at all.

Ditto. I really don't understand Quinn as a girl's name. If we have a boy he will probably be named Joaquin with the nickname Quin.

Not a huge fan. Maybe as a mn. I think of the song "the Mighty Quinn" but most likely no one knows that song anymore. Or Mrs. Quinn medicine woman.

jlynnr87 · April 2009

I think girl personally.

cabana1 · April 2009

I knew a girl in college and a younger boy with this name. I'm not a fan of it for a girl, sorry. Just isn't a pretty name IMO.

MrsJJC · April 2009

First thought was that it was for a boy, but I think it's pretty as a girl's name. I might use Quinnley and call her Quinn, but that's just for the emphasis on the femininity of the name on paper. GL!

SoleilMoon · April 2009

I like it for a girl.

tct1219 · April 2009

not a fan. i've known both male and females named quinn.

leah1615 · April 2009

I love it! I think it definitely works for a boy or a girl. I have known both!

vegemom302 · April 2009

I think boy, I like it!

dsoltys · April 2009

I used to think it was a girl name, mostly because of "Daria" on MTV.- Since then, I've only heard the name for boys. I know at least 3.

Worcbride · April 2009

My cousin's name is Quinn (it's a boy...well, man he's 40); I also know of a girl name Quinn. I think of it as a boy's name but that's probably since I grew up w/a male Quinn.
