HelpRe: Quentin, Quincey, and Quinn (oh, and...)
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I have been thinking about Quincy / Quincey lately because I found out that someone I went to high school with has a son named Quincy. His nn is Quince. Quince is a cute nn but I would use Quinn as a nn if I had a son named Quincy.
Quincy makes me think of John Quincy Adams and Quincy Jones. It also slightly reminds me of Mayor Quimby from Simpsons - I always thought if you took Quimby and Clancy from the Simpsons you would get Quincy. I know odd association to have.
I like Quinn though I always have a hard time truly loving such a short name. I feel like it needs more but I don't fully love any of the two syllable Quinn names. I do really Quinten and Quinton but I feel like there is a little too much n sound in the name. Quincy is too much of a surname and a little too cute. Quinlan I sometimes like but then other times all I hear is Quinn Land and still too much n. Quentin is okay but also too much n. Also I prefer the sound of Quinn to Quen.
So Quinn or Quinton / Quinten are my favorites with Quincy being my third favorite.
