Would you make this association?

We have a son, Aiden and are having another little boy and are having a majorly hard time naming him.  I have a name I like but I feel like the sibset will get the side eye.  I won't give the details because I want to know your first reactions:  Quinn

Like Aiden Quinn, the actor?  I have friends that named one child Joe and one Montana.  I did kind of side-eye that.

Before reading other responses, I thought of the actor, too.  Sorry.  To be honest, I'm not quite sure who he is, but I know the name.

It doesn't bother me much. I know the actor's name, but he's not a megastar or icon, so I think it's fine. Aidan and Quinn make a nice sibset. I think it will just depend on whether you will find it super annoying when people notice.

I don't think I've ever heard of that actor, so I did not make the association.  I would not let that stop you from using the name you want.

Don't know Aiden Quinn. Like Quinn though. But not together. And Quinn for a girl. Maybe because of Glee.

I thought of him but it didn't really bother me. Maybe because he's not always in the spotlight? Use it and just introduce them as Quinn and then Aiden Wink

Yes, I make the association.  But you can try to avoid it by introducing them in reverse age order! :)

I recognize the name, but not exactly sure who the actor is.  So he must not be largely famous.  I would definitely use it and introduce them in reverse order.

I'm old enough to make the connection right away but I wouldn't side eye and the actor isn't really famous enough anymore to make this a problem, IMO.

I know there is an actor. I honestly wouldn't let it bother me. I love the name Quinn. I'm sad that it is more popular for girls now than boys.

I love you to the moon and back!

At least 50% of the population is going to be rolling their eyes at you. He isn't Brad Pitt but he's famous and I'd avoid the potential teasing.

This exactly. I thought of the actor immediately. Although I have no idea who he is or what he has been in. I can't even picture his face.

I do love the names though, but not together.
