Is Quinn a male or female name to you?

The only Quinn I know is a man.

Male. Quinn is a stupid name for girls. There, I said it. Stop giving your girls boy names, girl names should be ENOUGH.

This reminds me of an incident a few years ago where I was talking baby names with a coworker. The topic came up that someone had named their baby boy Quinn and I said something like "that's a girl name". Turns out this coworker also had a male child named Quinn.

+1 Glad you reminded me this. DD and I rewatch Daria every couple of years. It’s such a great show.

Equally both. I would not have an assumption either way

+1. Girls in my neighborhood include Ryan, Quinn, Finn... I can't think of dumber, more boring names for girls/women.

Nope. I've known three Quinns, all white males. I know one man in his 50s, one college age guy and my kids have one classmate who is now in middle school with them (6th grade).

The only female Quinns I've heard of have all been television characters.

Either. There was a child actress in the TV show Family back in the 70s named Quinn, so it's not that new using it for females. My immediate thought is Quinn the Eskimo, anyone else?

I would assume female, but I know 2 children named Quinn, 1 M and 1 F.

My female assumption probably comes from the primary association the name has for me - Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Yes, that's the last name obviously, but Quinn = woman in my mind.

I love the name and strongly considered it for either my children and I have one of each gender.

nope. Never heard this name for a black male and I do know a lot of black people as I grew up in a majority African American community and attended and later taught in majority African American schools. White males and white females, about an even number of each.

Stop judging.

People like the names they like, and don’t have to answer to the likes of you.
