What are peoples thoughts on Quinn and what gender comes to mind?

I love Quinn. I actually was considering it as a middle name for a girl. I do consider it unisex and I think it totally works for a boy, however personally I prefer it for a girl

I love Quinn. I'd like to use it, for either gender but DH doesn't like it as it's too trendy . It makes me picture a guy at first but I definitely think it works for either gender and seems to be used more for girls nowadays.

I like it and thinking for a boy. I'm in the UK - and it's not on top 100 etc.

One of my good friends in college was a male Quinn and it suited him perfectly! So I prefer it for a boy, but it seems to be more popular for girls these days.

I love it oh says no though! I thinks it's Definatley unisex! Xx

Like it lots, always thought it was a boys name. However, I feel like it's been taken over for a girl in the last few years such that I wouldn't consider it for a boy anymore. Unfortunately. Some of my favorite boys names such as Addison and Avery have gone the same way.

I think of Quinn from that mediocre American show a few years back Sliders.

I love Quinn and think it goes with either gender but maybe more girl

Out of interest - are those who say Quinn for a girl in the US or UK?

I like it. I would use it for a girl. I am in the UK btw

I'd say it's more of a girls name, but it is definitely unisex and could be either!

I like it It's a name I've liked since my teens. I'd use it for a boy.

I think there's an old song called The Mighty Quinn.

I'm in the UK

I'm UK and I said for a girl, but deffo a unisex name x

 

[RubyRainbows]

I like Quinn - it's unisex and nice for either gender! I'm in the US though and in the past few years it seems to have become very popular for girls.

I just checked the gov site (most recent stats are 2013):

In 2013 there were 875 male Quinns born in the US (ranked 356)

In 2013 there were 2,634 female Quinns born in the US (ranked 118)

Love it but prefer it for a boy over a girl.

 

[Indi84]

I like it, I'd say boy but that's only because I think of detective Quinn from Dexter!
I don't mind it for a girl but it's not a very feminine feeling word, then again I like Elliot for a girl!

 

[Tasha]

I like it. I think it's for either.

I'm in the UK x

Thanks all my DD is Evelyn - very traditional and quite girly so if I have a boy I'd quote like a boys name - one of the reasons I wouldn't choose Jesse as I love it for a boy but too many girls in UK named Jessica and shortened to Jessie :-/

 

[Hollynesss]

I like Quinn for a boy, but one of my favorite shows when I was a teenager, Daria, had a girl named Quinn in it who was a cheerleader and super popular, lol!

 

[xprincessx]

I like Quinn but I only see it as a girls name
