I know a little boy named Quinn, and while I think it's a great surname I wouldn't use it as a first name.

I visualize a good looking, clean cut, professional man, but I think it also works great for a little boy. It's definitely decent.

Part of me loves Quinn and I love seeing it on peoples children, however it is a very dear name to me that has experienced tremedous pain and tragedy and I just don't think I could use it.

Someone I know is having a daughter in a couple days and naming her that. I don't care for it because of the surnaminess, either, but it's not a formal-sounding one (since it's slightly familiar as a boy's personal name), and it's not unpleasant or too butch sounding.. sort of has precedent in Lynn. I think it'll grow on me. Besides, it seems fashionable, yet isn't popular.

My surname is Quinn.

It is the most popular surname in Ireland and is also the name of one of Irelands largest supermarket chains.

In personal thought I would never name a child this as a first name as there may be confussion between the first and last names, or even a middle name, people could think the child has two surnames.

Its ok, my dad's girlfriend's name is Quinn (she spells it Quynh) shes Vietnamese. :)

good name. if used as a girl name be sure to pick the middle carfully...somthing feminine i think

I know a girl whose little sister is named Quinn, but I've also read a character in a book whom I love, so I don't know. I think it's a great name either way.

I love Quinn for a boy, but I can't say I care for it on a girl much. If I met a girl named Quinn, I think I would probably assume that her parents had wanted a boy, so they gave her a more masculine name.

Quinn was my favorite name for a boy for a while, but now it's moved down the list a little boy. I still prefer it for a boy, though. I can see it on a little girl--which is odd for me, too, because I usually greatly dislike unisex names on girls--but because I like it so much for a boy, I prefer for it to be used on a lot of little girls (and then be "taken over", lol). If that makes sense. :b

I actually really like Quinn.. it has grown on me throughout the years because I used to hate it!

I love the name Quinn, it's in my top 5 for boys, but I really dislike it for a girl. It's only a boys name in my opinion.
