Quin is a unisex first name, but it's given significantly more often to boys than girls.
Few children have been named Quin in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 children are currently called Quin. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Quin at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Quin is number *** on the list of most common first names.
While Quin isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to be attracting more and more parents in the 21st century. In 2003 the name Quin reached its highest popularity with #3,829 in our ranking of all first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their child Quin (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five newborns named Quin to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Quin has been given to babies in 74 of the 143 years since records began, making kids with this name still very special today.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Quin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 53 babies were born with the name Quin. This puts the name in rank 5,406 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 6,237,772 newborns was named Quin that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Quin has been and remains marvelously unusual!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for given names: only 0.6% of all common first names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters U and X are even rarer as the initial letter of first names. By the way, the most common first letters for given names are A and J.
With four letters, the name Quin is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that as 0.6% of all first names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average six times as often as the Q.
If your name is Quin and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Quin, you can simply say:

Unicorn
Igloo
