I used to adore it for a boy, and I still really like it, but it seems slightly trendy (or at least getting there) to me now. I don't care for it for a girl, but it's one of the few unisex names I can tolerate on girls a little more than most others. Also, I have a new female co-worker named Quinn, and she's nice (so far). :b

Love love love it on a girl. Named my daughter Quinn. It's always sounded feminine to my ear, although I know that's not the case for most people--when she was a baby (or if people don't know her), folks would assume she's a boy.

Quinn is ok. I much prefer it for a boy and I don't find it feminine at all.

It's alright on a boy, as a full name.

My brothers name is Quinn Allen, thus, with this spelling it is male, in my mind. although I know a Sarah Quin and a Casey Quin. which makes the one N spelling more feminine to me.

I really dislike it, I think it's trendy, unappealling phonetically, confusingly spelled, with a boring meaning and an insubstantial history. The fact that it's unisex doesn't help. I guess I prefer it on a boy.

I saw a BA for a little girl named Riley Quinn. Blech.

I love it on both, prefer it as a fn for girls and a mn for boys, not sure why.

I really like it - it's on my PNL for a boy, not short for anything. I think it's totally acceptable for a girl as well though.

ignore.

I prefer it for a boy and I usually like it as a nn for Quinton.
