We threw out Quinn as our name for our LO after a ton of feedback from you lovely ladies that it's more of a girl's name these days. Our top contenders now are Hayes, Walker, Charlie and Henry. Thoughts on Hayes, or if you are so inclined, thoughts on the other options too? DS's name is Holden if it matters.
Thanks!
Re: Thoughts on Hayes?
do not like it at all...

I'm not a fan of Hayes. Mostly because I'm over the last name as first name trend, but also because Hayes sounds just like Haze when spoken. I think Haze is a weird word to name a child.
I like Henry the best of your options. I think it goes really with Holden.
If you're open to other suggestions, I thought these might be your style...
Brooks, Hudson, Bennett, Warner, Oliver, Colt, Keaton, Reid, Lawson, Harrison, Sutton, Archer, Tobin, Corbin, Miles, Cooper
Interesting on Quinn, I love it for a boy.
Anyways, I like Hayes but knew one that turned me off to the name. I do love Henry!

I don't care what anyone says, Quinn is a boy's name.
I don't like Hayes, but I do like Charlie. Not a fan of Henry, nor Walker.
This. Quinn is a girl name now?
I love Hayes.
I like all those names. I really like Quinn and Hayes for boys or girls and classic..and not common, but no one will ever have to be like uh, how do you spell that...
I agree with Charlie as a nn, too...I always remember a teacher i had in highschool who was annoyed with his brother or someone calling his kid "mandy" he went on all semester about..."you name the kid amanda and call her what ever you want. now she's going to grow up and be a stripper" not that a charlie would be a stripper, but easier to imagine an adult charles than charlie....
stick to your gut...I really think that unless your kid could be tourtured from the name you chose, maybe sometimes people are tooo opinionated.
praying for a miracle ..
Not a fan. Henry is ok, and I like Charles. People are naming girls Charlotte now and using the NN "Charlie/Charlee" now though.

I personally think alliteration between sibling names (2 "H" names) is a bit over the top. I like Hayes, but Holden and Hayes just don't work together IMO- sounds too contrived.
Therefore I would have to vote Charles (nn Charlie).
