My Tarantino binge over the last few days got me to wondering, WDYT of Quentin? What types of names do you think would go well with it?

Forever associated with my gym teacher who got fired for putting cameras in our locker room. *shudders*

D: That's so scary!!

To the OP: I'm not a big fan of names that start with Q, for whatever reason. I sort of like Quinn, but that's about it. So I'm not a huge fan of Quentin, but it might be because of my weird dislike of Qs :p

That name is a favorite of mine. I think it would go best with names that aren't unheard of, but aren't incredibly common, so maybe nothing in the top 100 or so.

I think of the son on "Grace Under Fire", the old sitcom from the late 80s early 90s. They were southern like myself, so I see a southern boy/gentleman with that name.

I like it although it doesn't really fit with my naming style. I think it's a pretty classic name and would go with a wide variety of middles, everything from Alexander to Oliver to Michael.

I kinda like it :)

I like it.

Quentin Xavier is a pretty neat combo and uses two unusual letters.

My mom works with Quentin Mackay (a designer), so that's who I think of!
I like how it sounds, and he's a handsome guy, so I don't mind the association.

My suggestions for middle names:
Quentin Russell
Quentin Riley
Quentin Elliot
Quentin Skyler
Quentin Taylor

A cousin of mine is named Quentin. She is 28 years old. I'll always think of her, even before the famous Quentin! (BTW, from what I hear from my parents, she lucked out. Apparently the name her parents didn't choose for her was a lot worse!)

Hate it. I think the only "Q" name I like is Quinn.
