TTMA Quincy

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I'm not a fan at all. Ever since bromios pointed out the similar sounds in quim and Quinn, I haven't been able to unhear it. I have the same reaction with Quincy.

I'm a bit nervous about googling quim, but I like the name. I used to nanny for a little boy whose name was Quincy (his mom was Haitian and it was a family name for her, I always assumed it was a family last name, because it has always seemed more like an LN to me). He was a darling, so I have a positive association with it, even if it isn't my style.

[normadix]

I like it actually

Noted @blackpearl08. My kid plays on this iPad and some things can't be unlearned, I will remain in the dark.

I really like Quincy! I am fond of Q names. Quincy, Quinn, Quentin, Quigley, Quimby... anyway, Quincy (to me) feels important; the only association I have is 'John Quincy Adams' as one of the founding fathers of the US. I think it's a good sounding name. It's a guilty pleasure name for me though, DH would never be on board lol

(Before this, I had never heard the slang quim before? I guess I'm sheltered --or it's a regional thing. I looked it up and well... you learn something new every day)

I have a pig named Quincy so I love it for a pig. It's a little too clunky of a name for me to use for a human but it's not a bad name.

I knew what a quim was thanks to a guy friend I had who discovered it while watching a movie and thought he needed to share that information with me. I definitely don't think of that when I hear Quincy. I think of John Quincy Adams and one of the Little Einsteins. I don't see anything wrong with the name but I wouldn't use it simply because it has no meaning for me as a family name or anything. I prefer to use names with a family meaning or some other type of personal connection.

I think of the medical examiner played by Jack Klugman in the tv show of the same name. I can't really think of it for a child. And yes, I know they are only a child for a little while, but still.

I don't like Q names in general and find them faddish right now. In DD's prior class at daycare there was a Quin.non (boy) and I thought that name was awful. I don't like Quincy for that reason and it feels too "old man", and not in a good way, to me.

Hm. I like Quinn and Quentin OK but Quincy sounds a bit unappealing to me for a FN. It's one of those names I think just works a lot better as a surname.

I'm not a fan.

This is how I feel. It's just not appealing to me. Nothing against it.

Samesies.   I also have a very positive association with it IRL so that helps I'm sure.

[TheEleventhHour]

I don't love it. I don't like the way it flows off the tongue.

[bromios]

I don't like this name because it makes me think "fruity," like, actually fruit-related.

This is me - I oddly like it.

Unless you're going to slap this on a girl, in which case I revoke all positivity and will flame.

[michellina]

I have a cousin named Quinc.y. I can't really decide if I like it or not! It gives off either a pretentious or cutesy vibe to me. I guess I'm leaning toward "it's ok". LOL

[Deleted]

Not a fan. Gives me a nerdy (not in a good way) vibe for some reason.

[sissykate21]

I think it's fine. I don't fall over in love with it but I don't hate it either.
It's a real name so that's a plus.
It must be for a boy - don't even think about it for a girl.
To answer your question, I don't have any good or bad reactions to this name. (Which I consider a good thing.)

[ugotstarbucked]

I don't like it myself. It seems too surnamey to me, and I do think of the fruit (quince). I like Quentin much more as far as male Q names.

[mjreilly]

It is is on my boy GP list. I would never use it, but I like it.

Also like Percy, similar sound.

[Bubbles]

I kind of like it.

My SIL has currently torn between Quinn, Harrison and Grayson. None of them work with our last name. And his older brother is Alexander so I don't get it.
