First of all, what's wrong with being transgender?

Second, Quinn is a surname that is often used as a first name. Because it is a surname, it is not a gender-specific name.
Other surnames frequently used as first names include Bailey, Emerson, Jordan, Ryan, Anderson, Harper, Lewis, Nelson, Sawyer, Finn, Carter, Chandler, Campbell, Parker, and Riley. These names are neither "boys' names" nor "girls' names."

DP.

Emerson = son of Emery
Anderson = son of Andrew
Nelson = son of Neil

You missed the point. The point is that the names listed above are surnames that are commonly used as first names. It doesn't matter if they mean "son of." The point still stands that they are originally surnames.

It matters.

How? How is it relevant in any way?

If my name is Katherine Anne Nelson, I should focus on the fact that my last name means "son of Neil"? Should I then think, "Oops! I am neither a son, nor the child of Neil, so I can't use that last name"?

The point is that Quinn is one of MANY names that are actually surnames, so it (and all the other surnames used as first names) are therefore not gender-specific.
I can still name my child "Mason" even though he isn't a stone mason.
I can still name my child "Emerson" even though she is not the son of Emery.
The OP can still name his/her child Quinn regardless of the child's sex or gender.

If it were Nelson Anne Katherine, it would matter.

I don’t think Quinn is particularly masculine(too similar to Queen), but it’s a stretch to say that surnames used as fns are not gender-specific. Would you name your dd Clark? Emerson is a horrible name for a girl.

Oh boy, I'm one of several who suggested Quinn Elizabeth. Never even thought about "Queen Elizabeth." Now I hear it.

In general, long, feminine, begins with a vowel.

OP here, I actually feel the same way about the flow with Quinn as a middle name. On the flip side, I know kids who went by their middle name and it was a big hassle. There were teachers who refused to call them by it ("that's not your name") and they had to explain it everywhere they went. I'm hesitant to set my kid up for a lifetime of having to explain her name-that's one of the reasons I want to give her such a short, simple name in the first place. Appreciate everyone's suggestions, except those who think it's offensive to to give a girl an androgynous name. It's offensive to assume everyone has the exact same gender identity and expression as you do. It's fine to not like something, but keep your obsession with gender identity to yourself.
