Quentin!

I've always liked Quentin more, probably just because it's the one I'm used to. But I prefer Quinn as a name on its own. You'd think I'd like Quintin, Quinten or Quinton with Quin(n) as a nn, but I don't at all. I don't mind Quincy or Quinlan, though. :b

Quintin. Looks neater and more balanced.a

Quentin, and with the French prononciation only ;)

I like the look and sound of Quentin better than Quintin, but I would hate for my son to have the nick name Quen. Quinn is a much cuter name.

I have a thing for original spellings so I'd go for Quintin.

Quintin, why have different letters for the same sound? Plus, quintuplet, quintet, Quinn, Quincy, etc. are all spelled with an -i-.

They both look weird to me. My cat's name is Quinton, so I guess I am just used to that. We named him that because he was our fifth cat and he is fat and weighs a ton..haha, get it?? :PBut for a kid, I suppose I would go with Quintin.

Quinn ;)I prefer Quinn to either. But failing that, I'll have to go with Quentin. Quintin looks very misspelled to me.

I also love Quinn. Quinn would be the nn if I ever used either of these names :)

Alright :)I don't object to Quentin (or Quintin) personally, there's just something in the sound that I don't like.

Quintin, first because it is the original spelling, and secondly because nn Quin looks better spelled that way.

don't care for either, but Quentin sounds better, though I'd never thought about the Latin origins of Quintin.

Quintin - I really dislike the e, and this is the original spelling (from Quintus, which I also like).
