Alasdair - al-us-dare
Alastair - Al-ust-air
Alister - Al-ist-er
Alistair - Al-ist-air

---

Quentin - quent-in
Quintin - quint-in
Quinten - quint-in
Quinton - quint-un

I'll skip the pronounciation because I'm never sure, I like Alistair and Quentin best.

Alasdair/Alastair/Alister/Alistair: AL-is-tur
Quentin: KWEN-tin
Quintin/Quinten/Quinton: KWIN-tin

---

I don't care for any of the Alasdair variants but that's my favorite spelling. I much prefer Quentin to any of the Quin- names.

Alasdair: Alas-DARE or Al-ISD-er
Alastair: Alas-TARE
Alister: Al-IST-er
Alistair: Al-ist-AIR

---

I prefer Alasdair, pronounced Alas-DARE.

---

Quentin, Quintin, Quinten: KWENT-in
Quinton: KWENT-un

---

I don't have a strong preference, but I'd pick Quentin.

I like all the first spellings that end in 'air' and Quentin.

I like most
Alastair pr.Al-is-ter
Quintin pr.Kwin-tin

All I'd say AL-is-ter

---

Quentin - KWEN-tin
All the rest KWIN-t(schwa)n
Schwa for Quentin too, I guess.

My faves:

Alistair pr. 'AL-iss-tər'

---

Quentin pr. 'KWEN-tin'

Alasdair, Alastair, Alistair - al-ess-stare
Alister - al-is-stur

---

Quentin - KWEN-tin
Quintin, Quinten, Quinton - kwint-IN

All those are AL-iss-tər to me.

---

Quentin - KWENT-in
Quintin - KWINT-in
Quinten - KWINT-en
Quinton - KWIN-tun
... but do they sound indistinguishable when I say them aloud? Very possibly!
I think the first syllable E vs. I makes a difference, but the ending makes less.

I pronounce the first 4 AL-is-ter
I pronounce the second 4 KWIN-ten

I'm in the NW US.

Alasdair - AL-uz-der
Alastair - AL-ah-ster
Alister - AL-iss-ter
Alistair - AL-iss-ter

Quentin - KWEN-tin
Quintin - KWIN-tin
Quinten - KWIN-tun
Quinton - KWIN-tun
