Aquinnah/Aquinna
I can't seem to get this name out of my head today either, I really like it. What do you think of it and do you think people are automatically going to think of it as a celebrity baby name? Which spelling do you like better and just what is your opoinion? Here are a few combo's I like although i'm not looking for suggestions.
Aquinnah / Aquinna Lorraine
Aquinnah / Aquinna Catherine
Aquinnah / Aquinna Mae

I like it, though I'd never use it. Call it a guilty pleasure of mine. Also people would butcher the spelling (I prefer the H on the end, looks more complete) and pronunciation. That and the likely nn is Quinn, which I dislike on girls. :b

I've always had a soft spot for it, but I definitely relate it to Michael J. Fox. Having said that, I love all his kids names Sam, Skylar, & Esme too. Unfortunately, DH hates it :(
ETA: I'd definitely go with Aquinnah since its a place name (Cape Cod area IIRC) and Aquinnah Lorraine is my favourite combination of yours. I also like Aquinnah Claire, Aquinnah Jacinthe, & Aquinnah Madison (something about very unusual & very common strikes a balance with this combo for me).

Really?I'd automatically prn is as uh-KWHY-nuh based on the prn Thomas Acquinas's surname. I personally like the prn uh-QUINN-uh much better, but that most certainly wouldn't be my first guess.“The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men.

I like The Spelling Aquianna. This isn't my type of name, but I don't hate it and I don't think it's ugly. My favorite is Aquianna Cahterine. It has a nice ring to it. L'Eau Qui Pleure

I like the spelling Aquinnah best. And think Mae is the best middle name. I would probably use the nick name Quin/Quinn

Michael J. Fox's family isn't as well-known as, say, Tom Cruise's; I think you'd be safe using Aquinnah, which is quite pretty. I normally dislike H's, but since I first saw the name as Aquinnah, that's what looks "right" to me.Aquinnah Mae is what I like best of those three. Aquinnah Lorraine is sweet, too, though very Michael J. Fox to my obsessed mind (I love his work--he's one of my very favourite actors), since Lorraine was Lea Thompson's character in the Back to the Future trilogy.Array
