Quentin or Quinn
I've met a little boy named Quentin recently, and i don't know if it is just the association to the boy because he was very adorable or if it is really the name but since then i can't get Quentin out of my head.
What do you think of the name? And is Quentin or just simply Quinn better?

Quinn is betterIt has an Irish surname feel to it (probably because it is!) and sounds more classic than trendy to me. Quentin and Quintin were very popular a few years ago (the same time Xander was huge). It still seems dull because of that quick spike in popularity at that time (atleast here in the US).

i really like both, but, for numerous personal reasons, id be more likely to use Quentin for a boy and Quinn for a girl

Whenever I see Quinn I think Morgendorffer, so probably Quentin.

I have always found Quentin very 'precious' sounding- it makes me think of a spoilt little mummy's boy. Quinn is stronger- it is still by a no means a rugged or overly masculine name but it is short, to the point and handsome. So I prefer Quinn :-)
