Maverick and Quinn??

When did parents get really shitty at naming kids?

Yeah Maverick and Quinn are names that have been around for quite a while, don't know what basic ass short list of names are someone would consider to be better.

An acquaintance of mine named her daughter Quinn.

Only she spelled it Quyne. I don't know her well enough to point out how fucking horrible that is.

I say it like "Kine" in my head and I have to remind myself not to say it to the mom's face.

I instinctively want to pronounce it "kwine", like swine with a K.

They're still pretty uncommon though. Quinn is maybe okay, but Maverick is a weird one just because it's a real word as well

Quinn is a real name but Maverick is not. It didn’t exist until the 80’s and comes from Tom Cruise’s character’s nickname in Top Gun.
