Quinn

Be honest! What do you think of this name? When you hear it do you think boy or girl?
Thanks a bunch :

I don't LOVE it, but it's a nice name for a girl.

I think boy. I've known 3 Quinns and all are male. I know that it's now often used for girls, but I still think boy.

I think girl, I think. Part of why I can't decide what gender it's for is why it's very much NMS. I don't find it masculine or feminine.

I can't decide if I like it or not. I've never known a Quinn before, so it doesn't really scream boy or girl to me.

I have been wondering the same thing. Thanks for posting!

My DH likes it for a boy, and it has family significance for us. However, I am on the fence because I often hear it as a girls name.

I think of a boy first than I think of the girl from Glee.

EDIT For a boy it's fine. For a girl it sounds trendy and like the parents were looking for a "cool" name.

I think boy- Quinton, Quincy, etc...

When I know it's for a girl I automatically think trendy fad.

I first knew it as a boy's name for my cousin.  Since then I have heard it for girls, so it can really go either way for me.  My cousin is Quin with one "n" so the double "n" seems a little more feminine to me.

It's one of my favourites! For a girl though. I know 2 boys named Quinn (unfortunately one is DH's cousin, so I can't use it), but I still hear it as a girls name.

Boy and every time I hear it on a girl I think "why the heck did they use such a masculine name on a girl."

I think this is one of those very rare times a name can go either way.  Honestly, I know a little boy and a little girl named Quinn and it suits both of them perfectly.  I don't think of it as too masculine or too feminine, although I would pair it with a very gender-obvious mn.

My DH likes Rory for a boy, but I can't get past all the comments people make that it is for a girl when we mention it as one of our maybe names.

Boy. I like it as a mn better than a fn.

I've loved it for a long time but only for a girl (to each her own!).  Would have been what we used if this baby was a girl.

100% Boy!!

I think it's a masculine boy name.  I don't think it's girly at all.

I dont think its either boy or girl- I think its totally fantastic on either. I know three children with the name Quinn though- all are girls. One is 6, one is my 2 year old and one is a newborn.
