Which do you like better for a boy. Quinn is our #1 boys name right now. Although I know alot of people see it as more of a female name I have always seen it as male. I guess it's because of the show Glee.

Quade seems interesting to me. Is it better then Quinn?

Oy. Sorry but Quade is just... bizarre. Quinn is much better compared to Quade, and I don't care much for Quinn.

Quinn has always been masculine to me, possibly because the only real-life namesakes I've ever known of have been male.

Quade isn't bad, really, but it does make me think of a western rancher, romance novel hero. And Dennis Quade.

I've thought of Quinn as a female name WAY before Glee. It was used as a girls' name on Daria. But I can tolerate it on a boy, even if I prefer it on a girl.

I don't like Quade. It makes me think of Dennis Quaid, an actor that I don't like, whose last name is pronounced the same.

I love Quinn for a boy, and I really dislike it on a girl.
I vote for Quinn. Maybe you like Quentin with the nickname Quinn?

Quinn sounds too soft to be used for a boy. It sounds like a whisper to me if that makes any sense. Knew one boy named Quinn and I was not impressed.

Quade makes me think of Dennis/Randy.

I prefer Quinn, it's my fave Q name (also like Quentin). Quade isn't bad, but not something I'd use.
