(no subject)

a friend mentioned that someone she knew just had a baby boy and named him quincy arthur. we all thought it was an awful boy name, but maybe not so bad for a girl. i've always liked quinn for a girl and quincy is a good name to use quinn with for short.

wdyt?

I dunno, John Quincy Adams was a man. But it wasn't his first name. And other older names like Leslie and Ashley used to be used with men but are mostly for women now. Hmm I don't really know where I'm going with this.

At least it's not Quyncy or something haha.

I think Quincy Arthur is a good solid name.
Also Quincy is 100% male imo

This exactly.

yes, absolutely

My thoughts also.

[identity profile] kilobites.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree.

yup.

I agree!

Quincy's very masculine to me. I love Quinn for a girl, too, and I think it stands fine as a name on its own.

Is she a Dracula fan, by any chance? Quincy and Arthur are characters in the book.

Quincy is absolutely a male name to me, not female at all.

Quincy is definitely a boys' name.

I dislike it, but it could be worse.

I really like Quincy and I would definitely only use it for a boy. I think Arthur balances it nicely. :)

I don't really like the combo, but if used, it should definitely be on a boy.

Quincy Arthur is a good male name. I think it would an awful female name.
