Kevin Smith, director of Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, etc. named his daughter Harlequin after a comic book character. We have a Great Dane and harlequin is a name of one of their color catergories, so that is what I think of when I see this word (and clowns).
Michael J. Fox has a daughter named Aquinnah...it's also the name of a town on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. It's always been a name that I've been intrigued by!

Re: Can Quinn be a nickname for a longer name?
Quinley is the only one that came to my mind.
I love Quinn by itself though!
I agree, Harlequin it what I think of.
