Baby Names

Quinn or Noelle?

I agreed to let DH choose a middle name (unless it was something ridiculous, of course) and he is in love with Madelyn Quinn. I wasn't a huge fan at first, but its grown on me and I do like it. But in the back of my mind, I keep thinking about Noelle as a middle name. I've mentioned it to him, but he says it's a cheesy name (he doesn't like Noelle- he puts it in the same category as virtue names like Grace, Faith, Charity, etc, which he hates). So which do you guys prefer:

Madelyn Quinn     or

Madelyn Noelle

Re: Quinn or Noelle?

  • Noelle. I hate this trend of Quinn for a girl. It also sounds... how to put this? Dirty.

  • Noelle. I don't care for Quinn.
  • Madelyn Noelle

    I do not like Quinn being used on girls at all.

  • I actually like Quinn or Noelle as the first name instead.  Madeline (or the way you're going to spell it) is very, very popular.

  • Both are very pretty names IMO.  Quinn reminds me of "Daria", the MTV Beavis & Butthead spinoff from years ago.  The lead character's sister (popular valley girl type) was named Quinn.

    Where I'm at though, it's not very popular at all. You-neek names are all the rage it seems! I'm a teacher and have never had a Madelyn, and I've talked with my pediatrician (who's also a family friend) and she has no patients named Madelyn. It's 90 something my state's SSA list.

    As far as spelling, I like Madeline but I don't want to have to constantly correct pronunciation. My maiden name was a PITA to pronounce and I hated having to correct everyone.

    Thanks for the input everyone! Though I like Quinn, I'm going to try to talk DH into Noelle. :-)

  • Noelle is one of my favorite names, but if my husband really loved Quinn I would probably let him have it, as long as I didn't hate it.  I don't really think middle names matter that much.

  • Quinn. You agreed to "let" DH choose the middle name, now you should honor that!

  • I don't like the rhyme-y-ness of Madelyn Quinn, so definitely a vote for Noelle here.

  • I'd also classify Noelle in the Grace, Faith, Hope category, which is just NMS at all. But it does flow nicely with Madelyn. 

    Quinn on the other hand I adore. It's been used for either gender for a long time, I know 4 Quinn's that are girls and only one that is male.

    On its own, I highly prefer Noelle, but I dont think it goes well after Madelyn. The 2 ns right beside each other dont sound right to me.

    So go with Quinn!
