[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]! [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] is all [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] to me.

3

[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] sounds strong and masculine. [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] sounds a little too cutesy for either gender for my comfort level.

4

[name_m]Quimby[/name_m] is all quirky and upbeat. [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] is awkward and sounds made up.

5

I love [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] and wish I would see it around the forum more.

I’m a big Simpsons fan, so [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] just makes me think of the Simpsons character, which isn’t a great namesake.

So I voted [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m], though if it were an option, I would prefer [name_m]Quinton[/name_m].

7

I voted for [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m], but [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] or [name_m]Quinton[/name_m] seems like a better match with your favorites.

8

[name_m]Quimby[/name_m] is a surname, so I would go with [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] though I prefer [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]/[name_m]Quinten[/name_m].

Definitely [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]. I’m not a big Simpsons fan at all, however [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] instantly made me go there with it being the mayor’s surname and all. I think [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] has a good strength to it that [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] just doesn’t seem to have.

10

[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] for sure. I like [name_u]Quin[/name_u]. But [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] sounds stupid when said aloud.

11

I don’t think [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] sounds stupid aloud, thats a little harsh, but The Simpsons connection to [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] does lead me to prefer [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]!

12

[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] looks and sounds nicer :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the feedback! I like the quirky fun sound of [name_m]Quimby[/name_m], but I like [name_u]Quin[/name_u] as short for [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]. I didn’t catch the Simpsons reference :confused:

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] is too “[name_m]Tarantino[/name_m]”? I am majoring in film, so that is my worry. I like [name_m]Quinton[/name_m], but it sounds nearly the same and would, for me, still seem a reference to the director.
