Pronounced KWIN

Personal experiences with the name Quinn

My daughter's name is Quinn and she is always complimented on her name. It is easy to write short to pronounce and she never had to deal with having two Quinn's in her class. It is unique and beautiful.

My sisters name is Quinn and she HATES being called Quinny- its probably the only time I see her get really angry when our sister teases her with it. We're 17 now (We're triplets, I'm Theodora and our other sisters name in Phoebe), and our names fit nicely but they don't make it hard to distinguish us, witch is nice. Quinn always states that we are all better of for being unique :)

Quinny sounds like a horse whinnying!

She has to deal with people thinking her name is Gwen if she says it too softly and everyone thinking that it is a boy's name.

My daughter's name is Quinn. People think it is Gwen and HATE people calling her Quinny. Makes me cringe. The nurses in the hospital called her Quinn the Queen which stuck with me calling her that. Happy Queen.

Every since I was a little girl and heard the song "The Mighty Quinn," I wanted to name my first born son Quinton, calling him "Quinn" for short. When the time finally arrived and I was thinking of for either a boy or a girl, I settled on something else for a boy, Quinn just didn't feel right. However, when I found out I was having a little girl, the name "Quin" felt perfect. Yes, I spell it with one "n" and I call her "Q." She introduces herself as "Quin with one n," "The Mighty Quinn," or "Quinn the Eskimo." She is beautiful, smart, logical, and insightful. She is the "The Mighty Quin."

My daughter's name is Quinn and we love it. It's different without being weird. Her nickname is Quinnie (she has a Pooh themed room so it works!) Sometimes people ask us if that's a boys name, but I honestly think it's a girly name. We get a lot of compliments about her name. We had it picked long before she was even conceived. No regrets on our choice!

We didn't find out the sex of our baby and we decided on the name Quinn whether it was a boy or a girl. We love it! It's unique, easy to say, easy to spell and I love the meaning of the name plus it's not terribly common. We call her Quinny a lot and Quinnie the Pooh too!

My cousin's name is Quinn, and she definitely lives up to her name. She is 4 years old and can speak extremely well! She can also speak Spanish because her daddy is Spanish.

There are a lot of girls with the middle name Quinn. I don't get it.

I'm going to name my daughter Zoey Quinn and call her Z.Q.
