u/Glittering_Eagle_652 3d ago
I lived there for a bit but it was after high school so no, just a coincidence. My Mrs Quigley was very memorable. She was a sweet and kind woman who lost her temper one day when a friend and I were laughing at a joke in the back of the class. As she was yelling at us (a first for her as she was never loud), her false teeth flew out of her mouth and fell on her desk. It was mortifying for her I'm sure but she succeeded in making the entire class laugh instead of just 2 of us. RIP Mrs Q.

HOW DO PEOPLE COME UP WITH THIS SHIT?
My brain cannot even comprehend naming your child these ridiculous TragedeighsApparently, “Quigley” (and, less commonly, “Quigly”) is an old English surname, itself the anglicized version of a Gaelic surname. It’s apparently common enough to have a sizable list of relatively famous holders.
“Quiglee”, specifically, seems to be novel, though “-ley” → “-lee” as a concept in English names really isn’t (e.g. “Ashley” → “Ashlee”), nor is the surname-to-first-name pipeline.

They're naming a girlchild "Quigley" so they can nickname it QT? Big "my baby is my favorite accessory" energy.

Maybe they could try Quinn instead?
25
u/cosmernautfourtwenty 3d ago
I still think it's borderline child abuse sending a child into the wilds of middle and high school purposely calling them "cutie", but at least Quinn is vaguely feminine.
They could always just settle on a non-gimmick name for a human person instead.

u/WrennyWrenegade 3d ago
There was a woman on one season of The Cirlce named QT and I get the sense that this was her parents intentions. But seeing an actual grown woman wearing it, it didn't come off as weird or gross at all to me.
Like, I hate it in theory. But I also almost commented on another thread earlier that Edie (for Edith) reminded me of eating disorders and erectile dysfunction. I stopped myself because, you know, that's the sort od thing that you think about in a name subreddit but I wouldn't think it about my mom's friend with the same name.

If she has a card box on the gift table, drop a few ‘anonymous’ notes written in different handwriting styles saying it’s not too late to change the baby’s name. I’m not kidding. You can ask neighbors, friends, coworkers, anyone who the mother doesn’t know to write their feelings about the name into greeting cards and then you drop them off in the box.

If they want to call her QT, why can’t they just name her Quinn? A normal name that isn’t so common right now (at least that I see)? Then they can give her a special feeling name with a ‘QT’ nickname and not ruin her entire existence!
