Q Baby Names

I remember reading through lists of Q names in baby name books and online sites, always thinking "there has to be more." Just for example, there are 14 Q girls names and 36 Q boys names on Behind the Name, and 22 Q names for girls on Nameberry. Not too many for girls, and in comparison with all the A names out there, well...

Thanks to White Pages and 100,000 Baby Names by Bruce  Lansky, I've found so many more. There are literally hundreds, although not all of them may be the original first form of a name. Take your pick, then research it elsewhere. Here's a small sampling of girls (I'll go with triple the amount shown on Behind the Name).

  1. This is a nice list. My favorites are Quinby and Quinella. I also like Quinnlyn and Quinnlee, which aren't on the list.

    Also did you get my email? If not can you email me at renanneliesedavidson@gmail.com because you were picked to be this week's Feature Friday! It would be great if you could email me by Tuesday.
