My son-to-be

[Kilted KT]

I've just happened upon some great information about my son ( who should be born in a few days, and god-willingly will have a kilt on before he is a week old!)

My son's name is Juergen Quinn...and will be called Quinn. I did a lookup on what Quinn means, and here is what I found..

*************
(from behindthename.com)

QUINN
Gender: Masculine & Feminine

Usage: Irish

Pronounced: KWIN [key]

From an Irish surname which was derived from Ó Cuinn meaning "descendent of Cuinn". The name Cuinn is a form of CONN.


and here is the meaning of Conn

CONN

Means "chief" in Irish Gaelic.

So, I've unknowingly given my son a gaelic name!! I'm all the happier now! ( and yes, i'll have some pics o' my sun wrapped in tartan up as soon as I get them!)

Good for you KT.

My son's name is Welsh for Chief apparently but he was named after a friend of ours.

I know there is a little welsh in there from my wife and on my Grandmother's side.

Congrads on your son to be, KKT.

It's a life changing experience! My son's name is Quinlan.

We call him by his name or Quinn or "Q"

Cheers,

Quinlan is a cool name...

Congratulations and best wishes with the delivery.

How cool is "Q" for a nick-name!! Dad can be 007 and Mom can be Miss Moneypenny

Finally, Ms. Moneypenny gets to see what's under 007's kilt :rolleyes:

Q for a nickname? Does he think he's omnipotent? Does he have a friend named Jean Luc Picard?

Ever hear of the "Auld Alliance"?
