I went to school with this sibset: Quinn and Reese. Both are girls. I think that one kid with a unisex name isn't bad, but when both of them have one...a bit too much? I don't know, maybe that's just me. I actually hate the name Quinn to begin with, but really like Reese.

WDYT?

If I had only said their names, would you have assumed they were sisters, brothers, or a boy and a girl?

I automatically assumed they were both boys. What's the answer? lol

I'm not a big fan of unisex names at all....

i would have assumed they were either both girls, or that quinn was a boy and reese was a girl.

i know twin baby girls named quinn and reagan.

i like quinn a lot, only on a girl. i am not a big fan of reese.

I assumed boys, off the bat.

I would have assumed they were both girls. I like Quinn better on girls (but I can see it on a boy too). As for Reese, this is the feminine spelling to me, whereas Rhys is the male one. I suppose it's because I associate Reese with Reese Witherspoon.

Me too!! Thats probably because the only Quinn I knew was a girl in highschool and the only Reese I "know" is Reese Witherspoon. I actually like Quinn alot!

Both names in my opinion are better as girl names.

I would have assumed sisters.

I would rather see two girls or two boys with unisex names than one sister with and the other without, or the same for boys, or a brother and a sister both with unisex names. I think that's more confusing and if Quinn was a girl but Reese was a boy, I think people would assume that the sibling they didn't know as the same gender as the one they did.

i assumed quinn was a boy and reese was a girl. that could be because a former co-worker named her daughter madeline reese and so that outweighs the connection i have with a male named reese

I assumed they were girls. I see Quinn as very feminine and when I see Reese spelt like that I usually think girl.

My sisters and I all have unisex names. Mine is the 'most' unisex out of the three thought :P

I would have thought Reese was a boy and Quinn was a girl. I love Quinn for a girl; I'm toying with the name Harlequin, which could be shortened to Harley or Quinn depending on personality.

I'd assume girls. Quinn is one of my favorite girl names, and I like Reese on a girl, as well. On a boy, I much prefer Reece.
