I think that this is an awesome name! It’s really nice and androgynous in my mind. The history of this name is also very cool. I’d happily use it; I kind of prefer it to Quinn!
I love how friendly and lovable this name is, and the inevitable nicknames Quinn or even Quinny are great for either boys or girls. Quinlan is fun to say and is my favorite out of the Quinn names.
I really don’t like this modern trend to take surnames and make them first names. The poor children end up with a stupid name that follows them for life, just because the parents want to be different.
I just named my son Quinlan. This is a beautiful name with lots of nicknames. I like how it's unique and simple. I hate boring common names. My husband and I have a lot of Irish heritage, so we found this name fitting. It's also the name of a bad ass character on a book series/ show we love called The Strain!
Who the hell names their kid Quinlan? Why would you pick a name beginning with a "Q" anyways? Makes me think of a nerd with massive glasses and braces.
I usually don't like names with a ''kwi'' sound to them, but Quinn and Quinlan are exceptions to the rule. Quinn is quite popular nowadays, and I don't really like the sound of Quincy, so this could be a nice middle name to Ewan, if I ever have a son. It doesn't appear to have a religious background, it's quite short and simple, it doesn't sound infantile or pretentious, and it's just pleasant-sounding.
