[Opinions] Quin?

Okay just wondering people's opinions on Quin.

Boy or girl? (I like it for both, but since it would be honoring my SO's mn, I'm leaning more towards boy)

One n or two? (My SO's mn has only one n, so for honoring I feel I should use that spelling, but for some reason the two n spelling looks better to me)

First name or middle name? I'm leaning towards first name, but I like it as a mn too)

Any combos you can think of?

TIA!!:)

Funny: I've just "discovered" Quin too. One n. And for a boy!

I like it for either gender, but I would use a very "girly" second name when using it for a little girl. I prefer the Quinn spelling, but I think Quin would be an OK nickname for a Quintin... I think it can work as both a FN or a MN - the second name would sound best with 2 or more syllables IMHO. How about...

Quinn Jacob
Quinn Nicholas
Alexander Quinn
Dashiell Quinn

Quinn Olivia
Quinn Isabella
Rosalie Quinn

Likely in the minority here, but all I ever see with this name is a certain archaic term for a private part of the female anatomy...

(replace the n with m and wikipedia. probably not a good idea to google it)

My brothers name is Quinn, thus I like it for a boy.
but I've known two different girls with the middle name Quin (one N) so, with one N, I like it for a girl.

I love Quinn for a boy, but I really don't care for it on a girl. Quin is okay, but looks incomplete.

Combos:
Quin Alexander
Quin Michael
Quin Gregory
Quin Patrick
Quin Matthias
Quin Samuel
Quin Malcolm
Quin Preston
Quin Zachary

I like it better on a girl, spelled Quinn.
I would lean towards a mn, but it's perfectly fine as a fn.

better for a boy, and i'd spell it Quinn. i don't really like it much, personally. nothing especially wrong with it though.

The only Quin I know (this spelling) is a boy. I prefer it for a boy's fn, or a girl's mn (though I prefer Quinn for a girl).

For a boy, I love Quin Patrick. For a girl, Avery Quinn is growing on me (it's horribly unisex, I know!) I also like Emily Quinn a lot.
