HelpQuentin, Quincey, and Quinn (oh, and...)
I really fancy these three today, so what do you think of each and which do you prefer?
Quentin would be a nod to Tarantino and Blake. Quincey a nod to Quincey P. Morris from Stoker's Dracula. Quinn would be a nod to nothing much, but could and probably would be used as a nickname for both of the former.
ETA: Benvolio - is it ever usable? Yea or nay?
Much obliged!

I fancy Quincy so very much! But the Quincey spelling is okay too.
I like Quinn, but more as a nickname than a full name. Also, I really like it as a middle name. Not much better than Q as a middle initial.
Quentin is okay, it's just my least favourite of the three.
How about Quinlan or Quinten?
Also, similar: Quidel?
Benvolio sounds a bit pretentious to me. Not unusable but it would turn heads.

I simply adore Quentin, and would readily use it, although in my case it would be in spite of Tarantino rather than because of him. I dislike Quincey as it makes me think of a fat frog with glasses. I also dislike Quinn and would not like to see it used as a nickname for Quentin. I do not see that as intuitive. It seems rather forced.

I like Quinn for a girl.
Benvolio would make a rockin' middle name, IMO.

Quinn for a girl is a total guilty pleasure of mine!

I have been thinking about Quincy / Quincey lately because I found out that someone I went to high school with has a son named Quincy. His nn is Quince. Quince is a cute nn but I would use Quinn as a nn if I had a son named Quincy.
Quincy makes me think of John Quincy Adams and Quincy Jones. It also slightly reminds me of Mayor Quimby from Simpsons - I always thought if you took Quimby and Clancy from the Simpsons you would get Quincy. I know odd association to have.
I like Quinn though I always have a hard time truly loving such a short name. I feel like it needs more but I don't fully love any of the two syllable Quinn names. I do really Quinten and Quinton but I feel like there is a little too much n sound in the name. Quincy is too much of a surname and a little too cute. Quinlan I sometimes like but then other times all I hear is Quinn Land and still too much n. Quentin is okay but also too much n. Also I prefer the sound of Quinn to Quen.
So Quinn or Quinton / Quinten are my favorites with Quincy being my third favorite.
